Hi, all!

I have now updated all the libraries and compilers for my gnubg builds. 
This is what I currently use, and I think we should all use the same 
libraries.

The compiler is now gcc-3.2.3 (mingw special 20030504-1)
http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml

GTK+, GDK and Glib is all take from Tor's site.
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html

Since GTK and glib from Tor's site depends on iconv.dll and 
libintl-1.dll, I think we all should make builds that depend only on 
these two dlls. DON'T TAKE libiconv OR libintl OR gettext LIBRARIES FROM 
ANY OTHER SITE!
That's libiconv-1.9-w32.2.bin.woe32.zip 
<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gettext/libiconv-1.9-w32.2.bin.woe32.zip?download> 
at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=25167
and http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/libintl-0.10.40-tml-20020904.zip
and http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/gettext-dev-0.10.40-20020904.zip

The following libraries is taken from GnuWin32, 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617

gdbm is version 1.8.0
libpng is version 1.2.4
zlib is version 1.1.4
libxml version 2.4.12
freetype version 2.1.4
libart 2.2.3 *

*) libart has now become a part of the GNOME sources, and the latest 
release is 2.2.12, never mind this, I think we should just stick to 
2.2.3. OK?

(I think I will start providing readline support to the gnubg-no-gui 
version. I'm not sure where I'll take the library from.)

That's all! Can we agree to use the above listed program in our builds? 
Any other comments are welcome?

I'm checking out this possibility now. I would also like to discuss the 
the installation archive. It would be nice if we could join forces with 
the GIMP for Windows project, and thereby use the same GTK installation 
as they use. I'll check if it's possible and make a suggestion for this 
later today if I can. (The days goes fast....)
