An advantage of using VC2005 is that you can compile in Directshow input 
stuff; trying to do that in Cygwin is a nightmare. Also, although C 
libraries and objects can be mixed and matched between the different 
compilers, the C++ ABIs are incompatible (at least for g++ in cygwin, dunno 
about MinGW) so I think for windows development there's no option but to use 
VC.

VC users have learned to put up with opening up the projects file and 
specifying the include/link paths, so we're par for the course there.
