Is there a svn/cvs repository somewhere, where the curious can
get themselves into trouble? :-)

How are you binding it all?
How are you dealing with inheritance?
Where can I get it?!

I've used it. It actually looks better than native windows apps.
The stability is pretty good too, but it's quite slow...

The official build (MinGW only, no cygwin):
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/
There are lots of installers floating around (the best):
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

The main problem I had with GTK was that there was no
Mac OS X port...

... but that seems to have recently started changing!

So, if you've got a good GTK port coming, then I am/will be
ecstatic! I'd be very happy to help out, too...
