Bug Description
In windows, GTk+ themes don't work. Theme engines can't be found because gtk+ libraries shipped with package use a libdir of "C:\MinGW\..." These either need to be:
a) reconfigured with a proper --prefix for windows and use DESTDIR for a temporary install so the GTK+ libraries can be found
b) use a script to set GTK_EXE_PATH to where the theme engines are found
c) copy the theme engines to %home%\.gtk-2.0\...
a > c > b
choice c is easiest to implement.

Install private Gtk+. Assign environment variable GTK_EXE_PPREFIX to private install. If GTK+ runtime is already installed, don't set variable. Runtime will properly allow new themes and theme engines to be added/installed. Let user set Default theme, or add their own private themes, in %home%\.gtk-2.0. Must play nice with others! Private GTK, with GTK_EXE_PREFIX set, will be fall-back.
