I meant that controlling statically allocated and not resizeable arrays is far
simpler when there are many more important changes to be done during
development. Making it resizable would be rarely used (iirc you are the first
person who noticed such problem). I suppose every development has compromises
between wishes, needs and free time.

But possible. And anybody who will ask how to do this with available free
compilers for win32 will receive answer from me. I managed to compile it with
probably all freely availble win32 compilers.

You are probably confusing official and unofficial nature of those products
here. AFAIK official GUI development had support from Intel. This can be
important difference for longer renderings since Intel compiler produces
faster code than MinGW.
