AFAIK GConf (along with the other gnome libraries like libgnomeui) is 
not available natively on win32 (too many dependencies, Orbit2 among 
others). By natively, I mean without a posix emulation layer like the 
one provided by cygwin. If you really need Gconf on win32, the only 
solution is to install cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com), including the 
gnome libs, and to build pygtk + gnome-python against the cygwin 
runtime. Beware of licensing issues though, as the cygwin DLL is GPL, 
not LGPL !

By the way, if you only need GConf for application settings, why not 
write a simple wrapper that calls the gconf API on linux and saves to 
the registry on win32 using the _winreg module ?
