For people compiling GTK+ with Visual C++ 2005 or later, it is
recommended that the same compiler is used for at least GDK-Pixbuf,
Pango, atk and glib so that crashes and errors caused by different CRTs
can be avoided. The VS 2008 project files and/or VS Makefiles are
either already available or will be available in the next stable release.
Unfortunately compiling with Microsoft's compilers versions 2003 or earlier
is not supported as compiling the latest stable GLib (which *is* required for
building this GTK+ release) requires features from newer compilers
