gtk-2.6.9 does not use cairo, so if you want cairo you are out of luck. Also, gnet doesn't work with gtk-2.6 on Windows. When I realized this about a year ago, I stopped using gaim under Windows. I'm compiling several applications of my own on Windows that I am releasing with instructions to first install the latest gtk-win32 runtime enviroment from gimp-win.sourceforge.net. Unfortunately gimp-win does not provide development package (include files), so I got these from Tor's site. Even though the versions were not exactly the same, the compilation and the deployment works just find for me. I'd be happy to provide make files (actually SConstruct files), and the NSIS file, that works for me, if there is any interest. There are some subtleties, e.g. that I need to install iconv.dll and intl.dll in the intsallation directory, as otherwise the application crashes if ActiveState TCL is installed...
