Not bcc? Will with the next release change Harbour default c compiler to MSVC on win32 platform?

BTW, it turned out that some of my clients _still_ use Windows 95/98, so I had to step back to MSVS 2005 and I'm blocked from using UNICODE and certain prebuilt .dlls (anyway static linking is better, but it gives many more things to maintain). I envy developers who can exclusively target Linux. [ I've also noticed that GCC 4.0.1 under OSX creates a much optimal (smaller/faster) executable than MinGW 4.1.2 does under Windows. F.e. it looks like OSX GCC will compact the Harbour symbol table, just like MSVC does on Windows. MinGW doesn't do this, which makes it a suboptimal choice. But, if a huge list of dependencies comes into the picture, maybe MinGW turns out to be a better choice than MSVC, despite being a bit larger faster, because it may be better supported for external packages. For sure I've dropped Borland completely, now the competition is open between MinGW and MSVC 2005/2008. ] >> Looks like GTK+ can also run on OS X.

I've read the dependencies and it looks like a 1-2 weeks job just to assemble everything under MSVC / GCC (for static linking that is), well, in case there isn't any showstoppers, ouch.. Smells like lot of work and/or lots of compromises to make.
