Hi Everybody!
    I'm here with a project, that don't exist yet, to include win32
compiling in DJGPP.
    Why? you ask. in 2 weeks searching I found 4 options for free win32
compilers:
1. RSXNTDJ
2. CYGwin32
3. MingWin32
4. Lcc32
    The first was the best option, since it is an adaption to DJGPP (for
DOS and Win32 programs), but still using binutils 2.7... and you must
pay to produce comercial programs
    The second and third share some problems, they cause "path"
problems, I mean you must hide DJGPP when compiling Win32 and
vice-verse, and to be honest I have so many problems trying to make then
work there I didn't really compile something
    The fourth die in the C without the ++, a very complex and hard to
use IDE, and a strange dos window in background

So, I'm wondering if somebody can help me to make adaptations on DJGPP
so it can compile Win32 programs, I mean can't be that dificult, the big
part of the job is in the linker, instead of get the COFF and write a
DOS EXE,  write a Win32 EXE, develop an IDE, create a .LIB to .A
conversor to convert the MSSDK or even make the linker read the LIB
files( this will be even better) . I know that this it's not very easy
but I thomk that can be done.

Please send any comments, info, or "hey I'm crazy like you and want to
help"
