You might be interested in this:

It seems the Visual C++ compiler (at least version 7) is freely
downloadable from MS. (Not the GUI though.) As you see, it's
not even possible for things built with that compiler to coexist
with the current VC 6 built stuff...

As you see in the thread, it seems that Mingw is compatible with
MS VC 6.
