My goal was not to start a flame war. I use the latest "features" of C++
because they make my life easier and don't hinder readability. And also
because my compiler supports it, of course. But, obviously, some of these
constructs have to be avoided when changing compiler.

I did not delve in the CDK on Windows, but since MFC's _do_ compile with
CodeWarrior on Windows (I use this myself), I guess that with some tweaking
it may be possible to develop conduits without VC++ (and of course without
wizards, but I do consider this a good thing :-))
