Which is why it would be -in theory, of course, I have no idea of the
effort required but I suspect it'd be substantial- nice for the Windows
build of AOO to move away from Microsoft's C compilers and into something
else that is open source, like OpenWatcom or even MinGW... it helps avoid
microsoft's "planned obsolescence" and the bundling of third party,
non-opensource runtime DLLs.

Sorry, this would be a better debate for the devs list no the users list.
