For me personally - just to clarify this a bit - anything goes.
As long as whatever get's chosen:

- Still works with a completely Free development environment, even when
  forced to be working on a Windows box. So if I write something that
  uses GTK+, I can still build that thing with for example gcc 
(MinGW/MSYS).
  Note that mixing compilers doing so is a bad generally considered a 
bad
  idea (32bit producing mingw-w64 vs mingw.org's mingw32 for example).
- Doesn't impose worries about the crt that's used (and thus has to be
  distributed). Like it or not, but up until today that leaves only one
  option: msvcrt. Everything else seems to require a 'licence' for 
Visual
  Studio or some such, which I don't have nor want. There's already 
whole
  volumes written about this on mingw-users list and elsewhere, so I 
won't
  repeat the details here...

mvg,
