It seems (looking at bug reports he has filed) that Markus uses X11 on
macosx. Windows does not support X11 natively, so it will be
significantly harder (ie a rewrite of the GTK support in Emacs to not
depend on X, and a rewrite of the Windows code to not depend on the
native Windows API) to get a GTK build working with the w32 build of
Emacs. Cygwin will probably work, though I don't know if anyone has ever
successfully used GTK with the Cygwin X11 build (there doesn't appear to
be an active maintainer for the Cygwin port, and we only occasionally
hear about it from users when there are problems).
