My vote is to remove OpenWatcom. As it doesn't support 64-bit, it's mantaining code to compile on one Platform targeting one architecture.
If I have time I'll try to investigate the needed changes to make Euphoria work with Microsoft compiler which is freely included with the Windows SDK as it supports both 32 and 64-bit and has no restrictions on what you can produce with it.
Cheers, Guillermo
Edit: As it seems a lot of people prefer the bundled version and I'm sure windows sdk cannot be bundled, does anyone has anything to say about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clang ? From what I've read in the license, it may be what we are looking for. Also there's Pelles C compiler, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelles_C Anyway, I think still the best option is MingW.
