+ here. I'd love to se MinGW as an official platform.

Btw, what do you see as the main benefits of the VisualStudio build
compared to MinGW?

VisualStudio and MinGW share the same compatibility problems: IPC, fd <=> socket stuff, etc.

But VisualStudio has two main pros:

- It's a well known (the best known I think) development environment for Windows (here I'm thinking to Windows only developers) - The Runtime libraries used are recent, while MinGW uses the old msvcrt.dll, born in 1998 ....

The major cons are the lack of autoconf/automake support and the "project files bandwagon" .....

Regards

Guido
