Nah, it never is a good idea (IMHO) to have several copies of the same
DLLs around your system. Instead, add the folder(s) where the DLLs are
to your PATH.

Besides, to get a fully working GTK, you need lots of other stuff in
addition to the DLL itself. If you keep the GTK structure intact as it
is in the zip files I distribute (and hopefully in the various
installers), and just add the "lib" folder to your PATH, GTK will find
the other files. Not so if you just copy the DLL.

Not a good idea either.
