Ok, i guess i should add them to my PATH, where is the right place to do
this ? The gtk-win32 page suggest autoexec.bat, but i don't know, there
is no PATH definition in my existing autoexec.bat, so there should be a
better place.

Also, after that will come the problem of the distribution of the
resulting program. I would want it to run on every windows box, not only
those where cygwin is installed, or i could as well use a demolinux CD
to run the linux version. Is there a way of getting the needed DLLs from
the executable so i can put all of it into a zip archive or something ?

Or is it better to produce static lablgtk binaries ?

Friendly, and thanks for your help.
