Thanks Santiago, a few people have commentd on the windows Gtk+ lib bundling before, but I'll pass your comments along to the developers. They've been investigating alternative packaging approaches, so you may be more satisfied with it in the future.

Hello, my name is Santiago Roza, and I'm a freelance writer for USERS magazine (a tech mag in Argentina and Mexico), specialized in Free software.
First of all, I'd like to congratulate you for your work: it's great to have a Free [and top quality] vector drawing program, and it's because of extraordinary people like you that F/OSS keeps evolving.
That said, I'd like to make a tiny little suggestion for the Win32 builds: I've seen you guys are bundling the GTK+ libraries with the installer, and while I have to admit that may ease things to some extent, I don't think it's the best (and most thoughtful) choice, considering there are many other Win32 apps which also depend on GTK+ (GIMP, X-Chat, Gaim, Abiword, Dia, and maybe more in the near future).
Well I guess that's all for now. Greetings, and thanks in advance.
