  A free one would be nice, the others are too expensive and the only
  free one I saw is so crippled that it does not compare to the quality
  and richness of features found in free Unix software.

  I don't know if the Unix gcc can generate WinNT/95 executables, BUT
  there is a GNU compiler/development suite for the Win32 platform,
  just look at Cygnus Support http://www.cygnus.com/ they call it
  Cygnus/Win32 or something like that. Has the compiler, .dll's, unix
  utilities and even a bash shell.
