I would suggest providing NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/) installer
script with GTK+ source distribution. My project GtkGLExt provides
gtkglext.nsi.

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gtkglext/gtkglext/gtkglext.ns
i.in?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

It updates pkg-config *.pc files automatically, and generates shell script
and .bat file to setup %PATH% and %PKG_CONFIG_PATH% (like Visual Studio's
vsvars32.bat).

What do you think of it?
