I think building under MinGW64 using the Unix front end is The Right Way
to go. You pick up all the switch parsing; common code base. Way back,
I built my posdos3.1 that way. Plus, we avoid this crap where the M$
version only builds with a compiler no longer available.
As long as there's no Windows Loop needed, this is better.
Do you have povray built like this with the unix front end?
