Hm, I guess that would explain the dependency problems I saw.

I'll try to track the 2.1 meta-ticket (12957), since I saw that you
added a note about removing the "intl/" directory.

It'd also be interesting to find out if this is a problem with the
GTK-Win32 port, or if it's a version problem even on Linux. Has anyone
had success with the latest versions of GTK+ (2.8.10 or later) without
disabling the use of the included intl/ directory? What versions are the
administrator developers (jdorje, Per, Vasco, et al.) using?
