I don't want to have to ask users of my code to have to go through this: http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/mstoolkit/ What I want is to provide everything a user would need within my own Subversion repository. Any C code would be compiled behind the scenes using free tools that I'm able to include in my repository (without having to hire a lawyer first). Having to tell users that they need to download, install, and configure all this additional compiler stuff is asking too much from my potential user base, since I'm also targeting novices and developers from other languages for whom C compiler stuff is going to be a barrier to entry. I hope that makes sense. :-) -- Patrick K.
