<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>thanks for the tip. I didn't know this existed, and
it will be very useful. Unfortunately it cannot seem to compile gdal, because a
file called windows.h is missing. But it's still a useful compiler to
have.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I recently discovered that the Microsoft .NET SDK
