We just follow upstream gtk.  We don't take any special steps to
rename the DLL, as you can see:

http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/mingw32-gtk2/mingw32-gtk2.spec?view=markup

So that means, either they (gtk-win) are renaming the DLL themselves,
or they are building from a different upstream, or their build system
somehow produces differently named DLLs.  Whichever it is, I'm not
sure this is our problem ..

Anyway, does symlinking or renaming the DLLs by hand work?
