Yup, MrC is pretty much a dead end at this point (as is MPW
for that matter). Although I understand the desire to compile/build
AbiWord with a free development system, I think we may be shooting
ourselves in the foot by doing so - not unlike how our Wintel folks
prefer to use the VC environment over CygWin.

I would DEFINITELY suggest going that route.
