DJGPP includes STL as part of the C++ compiler (v2gnu/gpp281b.zip file 
from the usual DJGPP sites).

There is an add-on package called RSXNTDJ that can be used with DJGPP to 
produce Win32 programs.

The DJGPP FAQ also includes pointers to 3 other free compilers that 
produce native Win32 programs.

You could have downloaded the FAQ (v2/faq211b.zip) and then you'd know 
the answers to all these questions.
