Tools vendors are free to bundle whichever compiler they need with Eclipse and
the CDT and most do. Unfortunately we do not have a vendor distributing a
developement environment for Windows itself. The CDT itself is not legally
allowed to distribute any of the gnu tools due to restrictions on GPL licensed
software on the Eclipse site. It would be cool if someone built something like
that on sourceforge, or something.
My current plan, though, is to add support for Microsoft's new Windows SDK
which includes everything to build Windows apps from other IDEs. Again we won't
be able to legally distribute the Windows SDK, but at least we'll be able to
bring the number of installs down to two and be able use the registry entries
of the SDK to configure the build settings.
