[pygtk] Codegen/argtypes: "No ArgType for GValue*" on Linux & Windows

I think you need to pass load_types='arg-types.py' when you create
your TemplateExtension for goocanvas.

You might take a look at the installer I've done for pygoocanvas at
http://github.com/dieterv/pygoocanvas for the complete setup.py.

Note: the code there depends on other improvements I've been working
on to make the whole building pyg* python bindings on windows with
mingw+msys work out of the box. Especially the patches to pygobject
and pygtk might interest you. You can find the git repos with my
patches at http://github.com/dieterv/

I'm providing built binaries (more like unofficial snapshots) of the
above work here: http://www.optionexplicit.be/projects/gnome-windows/
Just navigate to the newest directory, et voila :)

hth,
Dieter
