MinGW and Visual C++ .NET 2003 are both valid choices.  The latter compiles
faster and produces somewhat faster code, so it's my primary choice.  Forget
DJGPP (which is for DOS, not Windows), Cygwin (which comes with a heavy UNIX
emulation layer), and earlier releases of Visual C++ (which have crappy C++
support).
