What exactly is your problem? I have not tried VC, but the code should be
quite portable, so I don't expect any real problems. And, if you tell me where
the problem is, maybe I can fix it, so other people will be able to use VC in
the future.
Regarding cygwin: In my experience, MingW is a far better gcc port for Windows
if you don't need the Unix compatibility. Cygwin tries to be as Unix
compatible as possible, it even implements things like fork(), which are
really strange in the Windows environment, but all this comes with a price. On
the other hand, MingW is more targeted to the Windows environment, and it uses
the C runtime that comes with Windows itself, so the programs are often
smaller and they don't need a monster dll (cygwin.dll was 6MB when I last
looked at it).
