Another thing would be to branch into Borland C++, as thats also a strong
windows based compiler, it opens compilation to a lot more people.
I have to say, being able to download a prebuilt windows version would be
good, heres a number of reasons why..
#1 What if the problem was with the MS VC++ on the machine that built it,
rather than the actual code?
#2 It does mean that for people like me who have access to Vis Studio but are
not so familiar with it for whatever reason we can just download and test
#3 Most people have access to a windows machine, thus opening for more of the
people prepared to do proper QA to have a check on the windows stuff
