It helps, I believe, if you stop thinking of MinGW with MSYS as 'a pseudo-Unix system'. They're billed as the minimal toolset required on windows to use the GNU compilers and build system (and, as everybody knows, Gnu's not Unix). The great thing about these compilers is that they're cross-platform and freely available, unlike MS Visual Studio.
These compilers are mostly C99 compliant, also unlike MS Visual Studio. Erik -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Erik de Castro Lopo http://www.mega-nerd.com/
