I don't know what the compilers them self require, but the 2005 version (and most probably 2008 version) can produce real executables, which are not .net based. Also both 2005 and 2008 version are available for free (as beer), and these are "full versions" in that sense that normal optimization etc features are supported. Both of the compilers can read the old project files (but like the 2003 version) they will convert it to their own version. Both also include nmake for command line compilation. I have used the 2005 nmake compilation with wxLua. One related issue: Visual C++ 2005 express edition + the free platform SDK kit which I have installed with it do not contain the odbc32 library which is in apps/msw/makefile.vc. I removed the library from the makefile, and noticed that wxLua compiled fine without it.
