  Eli, I am a little suprised here by your comments: it takes less than
  5mins to install the package and compile one of included test programs 
  to show you a GUI etc. exactly as you mention above! Everything works 
  out of the box, gcc compiles the lot, and the rsxntdj package provides 
  the resource compiler, linker and pe converter. Everything which is 
  part of the win95api (except for dll's) can be used...
