Actually, I was considering something radically different.. If it is possible, it would be good if we could build the entire tree from source ourselves with the cross-compiler (or maybe mingw). Then we could have any configuration we want, and not need to beg & borrow dll's from other people. Does this sound like an idea?
Doing it that way clearly gives us an advantage as far as bleeding-edge libs, etc. However, I worry that the overhead in dealing with it is too much pain. Currently, we do work with the shipped shared GTK libs. We just have to build a few extra ones too.
I thought the tree was already totally built "by hand"?
I'm going to experiment more tonight with them, just to see if they really do fix the locale problems. Either way, it would be after the 0.41 release, so maybe I should just wait until that's out the door and bring it up again then.
