What are the possibilities of an "MSVC compatibility" switch for gcc at
some future date? Do the compiler writers have this as a stated goal? If it
can be done, and if the licensing can be resolved, GPL'd software could be
quite as important under Windows as it has been under Un*x. (Before you
ask, sorry, but I don't have any experience of building compilers... I can
put in some time at the moment, though, if I can contribute anything useful.)
