cygwin still does the same list of error than djgpp. But any compillers 
should work with the windows lib ? I mean, if I use the platform SDK, 
its like when programing sockets or ncurses.. you add the include file, 
and the lib to link  no?

maybe the sdk is badly programmed to be accepted only by visual studio : /

Any other suggestion or comments anyone ?
