I'm not really sure what would fall under "major compiler manufacturer." Google? Microsoft? Sun? Oracle? Borland? DigitalMars is a compiler manufacturer, or at least their product is compilers. Walter developed the Zortec C++ compiler and has continues to maintain it. And the vague information I see, his clients seem to be very pleased with his work.
