Jettisoning the MS tools would be a bad idea. The Visual Studio compiler or the
Intel compiler are really the only reasonable options for building native code
on Windows. I'm not aware of any professional programmer that uses GCC on
Windows... Not because GCC is bad, the Windows ports just aren't capable of
compiling against a real Windows SDK. The MinGW tools come with their own
headers to try to work around this, but the last time I checked, it just didn't
work well enough.
That said,I think the right approach in the long term is to move the build to
use Gradle's support for C and C++. It supports the MS compiler as well as
MinGW on Windows and all the popular compilers on other platforms. If we
combined that with the ability to build just the 32bit JDK when running with
the MS compiler, it would offer a decent solution for those using free tools on
Windows.
Another goal should be to remove the requirement for Cygwin as it can cause its
own set of problems. I'm not sure what it is used for that can't be done with
Gradle and/or pure java libraries directly.
