I think this confuses two issues. I include a pre-built GTK as
part of my app bundle for OS X, just as I do for MS Windows.
It is difficult for me to build the GTK stack for OS X myself
because I work on Linux and have only occasional access to an OS X
machine.

With the win32 binaries available from gtk.org, one can select the
pre-built package that works best (i.e. "complete control over GTK
version").  It would be great to be able to do that with OS X too,
though of course I understand that Kris Rietveld casn't be
expected to do all the work this would involve!
