Basically everything compiles with MinGW (PDP and PiDiP should be  
possible too without a ton of work).  To get everything compiling with  
MSVC it will take a lot of work because the compiler works differently  
that gcc, which is used on GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and MinGW.  From my  
experience with MSVC 6, you can get about half of the externals to  
compile.

The MinGW setup is relatively easy to do:

It would be quite interesting to see a speed comparison from Pd  
compiled with MinGW/gcc and MSVC.  I wonder what the different is...
