I spent months trying to get GTK1-for-Windows stable. I can understand 
completely why nobody likes working on this codebase. It's huge and full 
of casts. The puzzle is why anyone would want to work on GTK2.

To answer that specifically I'd need to know exactly what needs to be 
installed on Debian to make latin1 work there. Any source file can be 
detected by autotools by writing a test main that executes during 
./configure. CinePaint does that for OpenEXR.
