[SDL] Developing a standalone EXE in VC++ with SDL - possible?

[Charles McGarvey]

I'm using Mingw 3.4.5 with the TDM drop-in which provides binaries for gcc
4.2.2:

http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/

Basically you just install Mingw normally and then unzip the TDM part on top
of the Mingw install.  These gcc builds are said to be "unofficial and
experimental," but I haven't had any issues at all with the sort of stuff
I'm doing.  I'm using it for Obj-C++, which isn't a common part of gcc, so 
if
this part is so stable, I'll have to assume that the commonly used parts
will be quite stable.  But be sure to check out the "known issues" if you
plan to look into this further.
