I don't think so.  I read the original inquiry as "Can I get MSDEV to use
gcc/g++ instead of cl?"  Certainly making the development environment use
gcc/g++ doesn't necessarily imply gcc/g++ and anything it uses be compiled
with cl.  It just means that there must be enough hooks in MSDEV to allow 
someone to substitute in some other tools.  But, perhaps I misread the 
question and it didn't mean this at all.;-)
