That's what we're trying to avoid though (using VC++ to compile). The problem is the fact that mingw doesn't create VC++ compatible libraries, so libecpg.lib cannot be used. All we need do though is create a VC++ import lib for libecpg.dll, and VC users should be fine. Unless they want to static link of course. I think we should continue to try to deprecate the VC/BCC builds, not add to them - look at the trouble they've caused during this cycle for example.
