Your work is clearly important.  There is some code (e.g. based on ATL 
or MFC) which can only be built using MSVC so having the ability to 
drive MSVC with GNU build tools is a benefit.

For my project, the vast majority of the software can be built under 
MinGW using a similar configuration to a MSVC build.  However, there 
are two components which can not because they use MFC or ATL.  If 
these components could be built from the same environment it would 
result in huge time-savings for me.

Once MSVC support is fully working, then there is opportuntity to add 
enhancements to build Microsoft .net assemblies/applications as well.
