When I load GIMP(2.6, on Vista) I get an error that states "gimp-ace.exe - Unable To Locate Component - This application has failed to start because libintl-8.dll was not found.. "
Where do I get libintl-8.dll and where on my pc do I need to put it?
Copying an existing libintl-*.dll to the requested name might work, unless the functions provided by the library have changed.
Otherwise there's http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net, in my opinion a rather good choice to get all kinds of libraries and toolsthat are commonly found on unix-like platforms.
I have compiled it on Windows, but the file size is too big - 500+ KB :( I have used it (GIMP 2.4.2, Windows XP) without problems.

Mine is 50 Kb.
If you want to get smaller binaries, just add -CFLAGS=s at the end of your compilation command line (under Windows or Linux). This switch tells the compiler to strip debug code. I don't know why it most people forget that option: even when you compile Gimp under Linux, which nearly anybody can do easily), it can save much space on your HD.
Under Windows, don't forget to add LDFLAGS=mwindows: this switch tells the linker to create a console-free Windows executable.
