The gtk2-perl packages are unique in that the .dlls themselves depend on
another.  Therefore they also made a ExtUtils::Depends module, which is
needed to build the Glib, Gtk2* and Gnome2* modules.  This doesn't do
everything necessary, however, for Cygwin (or Win32).

No, you're not.  There are other problems as well, namely with the
ApiDoc system (which runs only if you call make manifypods).  I spent
some time discussing these issues with the gtk2-perl developers, but
they were under pressure from the GNOME Bindings deadline at the time,
and said that they wouldn't be able to fix the causes of these problems
in time.  Since I found workarounds for these problems, I went ahead and
built them that way.

So I'll save you the trouble:  I have binary and source packages for
most of the gtk2-perl modules on my project page:
