Sounds good.

Hrm, so every MSWin32 user would need to pass a correct OPTIMIZE flag to 
Makefile.PL.  Is there no better way?  Why does glib's pkg-config file 
not list the necessary cflags?

Do you have the possibility to test with nmake/cl?

On Unix, people usually symlink 'cc' to their preferred compiler, so 
that using 'cc' in code is fine.  Does it not work like this on MSWin32?
