GDC on Windows

[Lester L. Martin II]

Can you all compile gcc for windows? If so, you just need to do a bit to setup gdc to compile with it. Follow the directions listed below (never fails to build gcc unless gdc has problems building), however also read the directions at the gdc site because before you start configuring and stuff, you will have to run the gdc script to make gdc become a compilation option.

Need more help? (I'm on IRC sometimes as lmartin92, but school's coming up so I may be there less often)
