Well, the GTK+ FAQ says:

	1.10. Is there a Windows version of GTK+?
	
	There is an on going port of GTK+ to the Windows platform which is
	making impressive progress.
	
	See http://www.iki.fi/tml/gimp/win32 for more information.

However, that link is broken.

Note that we only need the UI stuff. GRASS itself, including XDRIVER,
already runs on Windows (without an X server).

Or we could just decide that you need an X server on any platform
(this is already the case for NVIZ and tcltkgrass), in which case any
Unix/X11 toolkit would suffice.
