Does anyone know how to compile windows programs?

I have read in the FAQ the following:

If you need to write true Windows apps, try using the RSX extender
with EMX port of GCC and RSXWDK kit  for Windows.

I assume this means that I need:

*RSX Extender
*The EMX port of GCC
*The RSXWDK

Right?

Next.. The FAQ says to get this from ftp.uni-bielefeld.de.

I went to that site.  I looked around and there are about 9 megs of
files there and the site is extemely slow when connecting from the US.

Do I need all of those files?

What files do I need?

Is there a US (or any other country) mirror of ftp.uni-bielefeld.de?
I understand that there is one mirror... but like ftp.uni-bielefeld.de
is is in the same country and is extremely slow.  I get 5kbps at the
T1 connection when I connect to these FTP sites.  Also.. after I
finished downloading them... they didn't work.. there were errors
during the download process.

Please help. Thanks.
