Summary: TiEmu uses an older version of Gtk+ (2.6.0-rc1), Pidgin

Initial Comment:
TiEmu appears to use and install Gtk+ 2.6.0-rc1 (tested with TiEmu 2.03 w/o gdb) on Windows. 

Pidgin, from http://pidgin.im/, is a popular instant messaging client that comes with Gtk+ 2.12.1 and doesn't support much older versions of the library. This means that the installation of TiEmu causes Pidgin to crash: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/4808

Can we switch to a newer version of Gtk+?  I think I have the newest version of TiEmu (SourceForge and TiCalc says 3.02 was uploaded 2008-01-13), but I'm not sure why it is using such an old version of Gtk+.

2.6.10-rc1 actually (and the -rc1 suffix is only for the Window$
packaging, it's a 2.6.10 really). But it doesn't really matter, the point
is that it's a 2.6.x.

Because it's the last one which works with older Window$ versions.

TiEmu will work just fine with GTK+ 2.12.1, the installer thinks it's
older because Romain's installer is just broken (you can't do string
comparisons on versions, I told Romain that back when he added it (this
WILL break with GTK+ 2.10 and later), he never fixed it).

The version with GDB has an installer which checks the GTK+ version
properly and will work perfectly with GTK+ 2.10 or later.

Romain, the InnoSetup installer needs to be fixed as soon as possible!
