It is not a problem. Cygwin for sure will stay with gcc. A mingw port 
could also see the light if someone wants it. What I mean is that if you 
want something optimized for Windows and that compiles and link fast, 
you should use MSVC, there is no question about it. I know what I am 
talking about, believe me.
