distribution as being the way one can compile the same code on
windows as well as various unix systems.

[Re: cross-platform compiles - Is there a version of mingw for MacOS?  ''For Mac OS <=9, no there isn't (at least not that I know of), but for Mac OS X, of course there is 'gcc' as standard.'']

Those who have the financial wherewithall to buy Visual C++ have been advocating its use, as the executables are ''better''.
