you could theoretically use dmc/dmc++ to compile the rest, but 
that just asks for problems; you could also use GDC, which 
basically assumes MinGW as the C++ toolchain (though it might 
work with other compilers if done as a DLL) .. LLVM on Windows is 
still rather immature so LDC is not an option (SEH and so on)
