Is there some specific reason for using MSVC instead of gcc ?


 Currently ABI backwards-compatibility for compiled extensions.


There are also some features in the code that don't compile with
MinGW. They use API that MinGW does not provide headers for etc.


in addition to above points also there are also open questions around
how we would run unit tests in a MinGW cross-compilation environment and
how well gdb works on Windows; the MSVC C++ debugger is really quite good.
