[Gtk-sharp-list] Gtk# 2.12 for Windows

[Daniel Morgan]

I failed to mention there is a newer version of Evolution for Windows which has the gnome dependencies you may or may not need.  You would only take the bits from here if you're interested in getting MonoDevelop to work on Windows.  If using the bits from this installer is distastefull, you could try getting them directly from http://ftp.gnome.org/ but you'll have to know what you're looking for.
