I guess the next idea is for me to ask on mingw-users. We can't be the
only people who want something smaller than cygwin, but with at least
the option to use sane versions of libraries.

BTW, I probably would have used cygwin if the native ports of GTK were
only really designed to be used with mingw, and if I hadn't also
bumped into some cygwin related problems.
