Since you have commits on a GitHub branch, care to attach them to Bugzilla, so at least they don't get lost and somebody can review them? That would already help. Using Wine to cross-compile is not a huge stretch; https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696773 is a bug about using qemu to cross-compile on ARM. I guess we could find a way to make it easier to spawn an environment that builds the introspection data, and solve both issues. There are other issues about portability, though, especially related to per-platform constants and functions; the introspection scanner will currently drop re-defined symbols — see bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696935 > My main problem is I am on that code only when I need it, i.e. > a fistful of times per year.

Are you aware of that or am I missing something? I'm well aware of the Fedora packages — I use them myself when I need to test cross-compilation of other projects. What I'm asking is creating a CI environment with them that picks up changes from the Git repository and builds GTK with the Windows backend enabled.
