Just out of curiosity, have you ever tried it?

I _have_ downloaded Cygwin and was able to compile GMP
using gcc (after much wailing & gnashing of teeth). But using
the free SDK compiler from MS? That seems elusive. Lucky for me,
someone who had the non-free MS compiler was able to create
a Windows binary of GMPY or I'd still be SOL. If you don't have
the tools or don't know how to use them, the Windows C support
may as well be on the far side of the Moon for all the good it does
me.

I thought I was replying to a witty sarcasm.
