When I work on Windows (which admittedly isn't a lot lately) I *always*
use the raw makefile system.

I've never been able to compile Warzone using either MSYS or Cygwin. I
admit I haven't tried very hard to get it working correctly. But then
again I do *not* consider MSYS and Cygwin to be acceptable "native"
tools, simply because they're not native (they're emulation layers for a
POSIX system). Thus that leaves me with only one other option from that
list ^^; MSVC, and "it shall be a cold day in hell before I use MSVC
when an alternative is available.".

Thus I prefer to keep the raw makefile buildsystem.
