I'm currently using Pango version 1.10.1 which is in the gtk/2.8

are later versions of Pango. Should I use one of these?
Chris,
The 2.9 folder is the development version of GTK. 2.8 is the latest
stable series of GTK and would be the best version to compile against.
In any event, you're not going to find Windows binaries of 2.9 for a
while. At least, that's what seems to be typical. Just grab the latest
binaries from the 2.8 series. While the latest binary versions of GTK
for Windows haven't been posted yet, you should be able to get by with
what's available.
I don't know anything about the build script. I found it at
http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/HowToCompileGimp/MicrosoftWindows?highlight=%28windows%29
If this script in only a convenience, what's the recommended way of
building the GIMP on Windows?
This script is a convenience tool. As a matter of fact, even the
CompileGIMP.sh script is a convenience tool. You could manually follow
the instructions from the script to install MSys, MinGW, and ActivePerl
to compile GIMP against, but as mentioned previously in this thread,
manually building your compile environment can be more troublesome than
anything else when compiling in Windows. And CompileGIMP.sh (unless
it's been updated recently) only references libraries and files from GTK
2.6. That's fine unless you plan to compile the GIMP 2.3 series from
tarball or CVS. They require GTK 2.8.
Hope this helps.
Lance
