Re: MSVC compilation of the *mm core stack from master

[Kasper Peeters <kasper peeters phi-sci com>]

I know this does not answer your question, but I found that the 
gtkmm and related packages in Microsoft's VCPKG at
https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg work very well, and save you the
hassle of setting up this build process yourself.

To anyone trying to setup gtkmm on Windows, feel free to email me for
details.

Cheers,
Kasper
