multi-platform GUI choice

What compilers does the Windows edition compile under? If it only compiles
under the commercial compilers(MS, Borland, etc.) I don't see how anyone
would be compelled to purchase such an expensive library solely for the GUI
layer. Even if it does compile under the free compilers(djgpp, cygwin),
Visual Studio Enterprise Edition is still at least a couple hundred dollars
cheaper than their license. At their current prices I don't see how they
sell any Window licenses...
