RSXNTDJ's code is not the problem, it's the way it has been presented and
the amount of things that the author has not bothered to do/fix. Mainly the
installation is the problem for people and the way it integrates with gcc. I
think it was better in RSXNTDJ 1.3.1 where you just had to supply a -Zwin32
option to gcc to compile windows programs. The new wrapper gccw32 is not a
bad idea, but it breaks other programs like grc when you try to make
resources because it can't find the include files.
