We will have to draw our own notifications on win32, which (to my
knowledge) has no libnotify/growl type system-wide notifications
handler. As this can (and should) be done entirely with GTK/GDK, and
we already have existing code that does just this, there's no strong
reason *not* to use it.

Here's a default Guifications theme from Hylke:
