Although I still haven't bothered with translating/compiling, I've never had
problems with the compiler offered by http://www.mingw.org/ (experience limited,
but always without issue).  I still don't understand why it's not supported. 
Could it possibly be too much trouble?  Can I assist you in testing it Robert?

If a Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator can be compiled using it, it can't be all
that bad, epecially speed-wise.

I don't ask much and I offer assistance...
