Besides RSXNTDJ, there are a few others:

Cygnus Gnu-Win32: This comes with a post-2.7.2 version of the compiler.
    http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/ 

EGCS port to Win32 (both cygwin32 and mingw32): Bleeding edge.
    http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/

cygwin32 implies that you need Cygnus' Gnu-Win32 POSIX emulation layer,
whereas mingw32 uses MS-supplied C runtime (get ANSI, lose POSIX). Quite
possibly not as stable and mature as DJGPP, but getting better every day.
