This isn't really a core Python issue; distributing the GTk+ source with Python isn't going to happen because of the license, because the version would have to be kept in sync, etc. However, there's nothing stopping someone from building their own Windows installer that includes GTk+ as well as (or in place of) Tkinter.

PEP 206 was started to describe a richer Python distribution, but its author no longer has time to work on the task. You could certainly pick up the PEP and resume working on it.
