Right now, I think that we're all interested in seeing support for
whatever compilers people are willing to support.
So if we have support for both GCC and MSVC++ on Windows, so much the
better for the project.

Hey,
It is only the actual IDE that is commercial, with the Express

Right - but still - we can't force people to go buy Express.
Just to clear up any confusion, the VC++ 2003 command line compiler
and the required utilities and libraries are available as a free
download, exactly like GCC.
That's not correct. GCC is Free Software, VC++ 2003 compiler,
although a free-of-charge download, is propritary software (you
don't have access to the source and can't create derivative works
under any circumstance). Even more, I believe the license on the VC+
+ 2003 compiler does not allow you to run commercial applications.
Please do not compare the proprietary compiler from Microsoft with
GCC in terms of 'free availability'. You may not like the GPL
license on GCC (which I really like), but that another issue.
