It is possible to use LablGTK with windows (the Makefile supports it).
I only tested it with Visual C++, but it should probably work with any
compiler.
If your goal is to do static linking, then you may look at unison's
packaging: they made lots of efforts to avoid depending on any
non-standard DLL. Note that this may mean you have to recompile GTK+
libraries statically.
