Hi Jake,

To help you out with OSX testing, I tried out your gem installation.
Sadly it did not work :-( Here is the build log:

Fetching: pkg-config-1.1.3.gem (100%)
Fetching: glib2-1.1.2.gem (100%)
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
Fetching: atk-1.1.2.gem (100%)

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more

Seems one needs to install GTK+ on OSX before installing your gem,
through something like brew or MacPorts. I have no actual need for your
program now and have no other programs that needs GTK+, so I'm afraid I
cannot help you with testing this out.

Also looked at your installation docs for Windows. Is this what you need
for getting the gem to work there:

Where is your gemspec located? Did not see it on GitHub.
