I also see that your contribution including Visial C++ is important, but 
only because lots of peple like you think it is. There is no tecnical 
advantage in that, GCC is probably a better compiler.

On the other hand, I don't understand why you try so hard to avoid MSYS, 
it has colst a lot of people a lot of effort just to make things easy in 
Windows.

I agree that the build documentation of Kicad is very bad, but then you 
could focus on that, but do it the "normal" way, or it will no be used 
much...

just my 3c,
Alain
PS: I also had a lot of trouble to build for Linux, due to the confusing 
build docs :(
