The idea of the installer for windows is very nice. I am of the opinion that a MinGW based installer wouldf be much better. In fact I have strong suspicions that the majority of the people using ECL on windows use MinGW/gcc rather than MSVC (at least all the people I know who use ecl all use it with MinGW). It does make a lot of sense to focus developement on the MinGW side rather than the msvc side.

The positive side of using Mingw, is that, from my experience, the resulting ECL library does not depend on any kind of anything external entities, not already present on a typical windows install. Use of a MSVS-built ECL, again, from my experience, requires installation of the Visual C redistributable on the user machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gaining the trust of online customers is vital for the success of any company that requires sensitive data to be transmitted over the Web.
