I came to about the same conclusions you do with one exception --
MINGW32.  It doesn't seem to have any documentation about programming
in windows.  However, I took a peek at the "specs" file and discovered
that the option "-mwindows" needs to be added to the command line, i.e.

	gcc -mwindows -o test.exe test.c

"gcc -v" will show where the spec file is located.

I compiled the V++ package with it and it works very well.
