Good tip.  I had the toolchain, and after your post I was pleasantly
surprised to discover installing the mingw32-zlib-1.2.3-19 package
"just worked" and satisfied jhbuild.  Now I just hope the build
finishes. :)

The reason I am building GTK+ I am trying to shrink it[1].  I'm
starting with the GTK+ dll because it's largest, and I may work
backwards to its dependencies: cairo, etc.
