It is better to copy GTK libraries with your application. If you ask
user to install GTK libraries they can install incompatible version
(and certainly will). ;)

We didn't encountered difficulties with different character encodings.

You have to look on gcc documentation (ld part of it) where you can
specify resource file with application icon. Don't forget -mwindows
key for ld.
