I think you're thinking of my shell script which assembles a build
environment for Pidgin.  This is neither part of nor related to the GTK+
distribution at all, except by the fact that it downloads a few packages
for the GTK+ runtime in order to assemble the build environment.

The "distro" of GTK+ Pidgin releases is, as far as I remember from
Datallah's comments, a repackage of Tor's and not a rebuild, so it's
effectively the same, just better packaged.
