I can do that. Which compiler -- cygwin gcc, MinGW gcc, or MSVC++ 2003?

Easiest for me is cygwin gcc with -mno-cygwin, i.e. the result shouldn't
be dependent on cygwin.dll. (It is however dependent on msvcr90.dll, which
might not be installed on all Windows systems, but is downloadable from
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/abx4dbyh.aspx>.)
