The following gives a good explanation of the GNUTLS problems under 
recent SDK versions: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/openssl-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx/msg03802.html

Now I understand what this is all about, the solution with /DNOCRYPT is 
to "switch off" inclusion of Wincrypt.h altogether. I've added /DNOCRYPT 
to the GNUTLS_CFLAGS. Now it's working with 2005 Express, maybe I did a 
mistake the last time I've tried it.

I didn't need to change anything here :-) Is this needed for the zlib 
linking?

Yes, that's what I'm experimenting with in the last days - being able to 
compile on *all* variants. This is consuming a *lot* of time.

gtk1 works "out of the box" for me, if gtk2 works.

At least there's some progress ...
