OK, so probably I can remove it from makefile.win32.

Maybe, I haven't updated it in ages (GTK 2.22.0, GLib 2.26.0), it still 
works for Geany master a month or two ago. But maybe some recent code 
triggered a bug in it, perhaps the Scintilla 1.52 update. Next week I 
will try and bisect the commit that did it, and perhaps try updating GTK 
too.

Is anyone using a recent build of Geany master on Windows (with working 
autocompletion)?
