Please excuse my ignorance if this has already been dicussed.  I'd
like to use GCC to develop windows programs.  I know of two problems:
1) go32 is incomatiple with windows memory management, and 2) no
window libraries.  I have questions.

For 1):

Does windows have a fundamentally different memory model that is
incompatible?  I know you can turn on "Enhanced 386 mode".  Is the
problem that it can't be done, or is it that it just hasn't?  Where
would I go for docs on Windows memory models?

For 2):

I have zero experience with Windows, but do know SunView and Motif.
Is it impossible to do windows work without a library?  Is the library
just a wrapper around some system call?
