This is great progress!  Thank you for all the work!

Personally, I don't consider the problems you list above for Debian or
Mac OS to be big problems.  But Windows crashing when a window is
resized sounds like a bug that we should fix before merging.

After I updated Pixman to version 0.32 I had no crashes anymore. So it looks ok now, but I can't tell why it crashed. So I can't say for sure that it won't happen again.

In the next days I will buildl a new installation and build the toolchain for gtk3 only. If that produces stable MSWindows builds and the issues John raised are solved I suggest to provide builds for testing bij users before merging.

Have fun
