That is indeed the best choice, maybe I read his message in a way too 
non-optimistic view =)

It's not a question of responsability, but of lack of knowledge and lack 
of time to obtain that knowledge ^_^
But again, I don't have idea of how much hard would it be... I just seen 
the 20k patch to gtk+-1.2.10 by Steven and Corinna says that right now 
it compiles OOTB.
OOTB is fairly different from "20k patch needed" IMHO, bay shortly after 
I received a message from Steven stating that his port is fairly old and 
many things changed (porting of autotools being the biggest, I bet)...

OK.

No, just the fact that when I begin something I like to finish it soon 
so that it doesn't occupy space in my head (don't know how to express it 
in english but an "unfinished task" lingers in my head until it is "put 
at rest" by solving it).
But again, also given the beauty of win32 native port (well, not that 
native, it uses gtk+), the is no rush in it.
