Lets look to supporting [name your favorite IDE] as a bigger picture
item not specific to windows, and to transition away from .dsp for
the build/ide view support.

Re: windows, aren't there one or more ports of gcc? Would something like that be worth considering as a more stable build solution than MS's tools?

There is a runtime library issue. Most GCC ports do not generate object code that can be linked with the necessary WinAPI runtime lib's. e.g, httpd needs to link to lots of MS C startup libraris to use the file system, socket API, IOCP, etc.
