Hi, all.

To make it easier for people unfamiliar with building GTK+ apps on Win32, I uploaded a zip file with everything needed (current dependencies) to link with Inkscape on Win32:

It would be nice, however, if a kindly committer would add the extra codepage source files needed for the build to src/libnrtype. These are not touched at all by the Linux/Unix build, so they will not break anything. However, (IMHO) they really should be in the source tree. There are only about 12 .c files:

BUT, with the change to C++, they need to be changed, too. Here are the same files, but tweaked for C++:

I have a set of diffs and Makefiles for building Inkscape with MinGW. I have Borland and MSC++ , but I really like this compiler for a few reasons:

1) Anyone can download it and use. This will help grow the developer base. 2) It is relatively small. It does not consume all of your disk space. 3) It is somewhat of a worst-case scenario. The fact that it resides in a Gnu-less environment, coupled with the fact that it is a bit stricter than the same GCC on Unix, makes it a good test of the robustness and portability of code.

I'll post the files later.
