This may be a little off-topic, but the POSIX compliance of MSVC has improved quite a bit and cross-platform support is no longer the nightmare that it was 10 years ago. Even 4 years ago I would have said supporting MSVC would be crazy, if not because of the cross-platform nuisances then because it was not a tool accessible to the general public. For the past few years Microsoft have been making MSVS/MSVC available free of charge to individuals and small businesses so I would now consider the tool as available to the general public, and the POSIX compliance has been at a point where there aren't too many cross-platform issues other than in the GUI, which for us is abstracted through wxWidgets. So I think we should reconsider MSVC support at some stage. I for one would prefer an MSVC build to an MSys/MinGW build. For me MSys/MinGW has always been a tremendous nuisance and not something I would ever install if I had an alternative, and I believe the MS tools are good enough and available enough at the moment.
