So, anyone know of a real, honest to goodness free software C++ compiler on

Under cygwin, yes. But I don't know about otherwise, and I don't know if
the executables it produces run outside cygwin. Probably not.
The gcc compiler is available natively on Windows at
http://www.mingw.org/
I build a native version of LyX with it using autotools.
Cool. And Steve, if you're inclined to go this way, I'm sure we'd all be
happy to have someone else using a version of LyX compiled using gcc on
Windows. Platform-specific bugs do pop up fairly often, and it's useful
to have as many people as possible using as many different platforms as
possible.
