Comment (by Anpheus):

 Now getting an error in win32/gtkdocklet-win32.c in functio
 'create_alpha_bitmap' ... BITMAPV5HEADER undeclared.

 I -do- currently have the latest win32 API in my MinGW directory. A search
 on google code search reveals:

    315:   * gdk/win32/gdkcursor-win32.c: Don't define BITMAPV5HEADER on
           mingw with w32api >= 3.8, which has it in wingdi.h. (#403896)

 In the changelog of GTK+.

 http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&lr=&q=%22define+BITMAPV5HEADER%22&btnG=Search

 Nowhere in MinGW/Include is BITMAPV5HEADER defined, certainly not in
 WinGDI.h - this is because MinGW's current w32api is 3.6.

 For the 'easy' install please add that users are going to have to hunt
 down w32api 3.9 and get gtkdocklet-win32 to load the correct one. I just
 copied the new w32api over MinGW's.
