Comment.  I'm running Windows 98 SE (or some such).  Our old DOS friend
autoexec.bat works for setting environment variables and PATH.  I initially
used the old MS-DOS editor to edit autoexec.bat, then I switched to Edwin
(an Emacs clone from the MIT Scheme distribution).

This is actually looking like it is going to work.

As I type this, I'm pulling down the gcc 3.1 source tarball, just for
general culture.

As an aside, a friend of mine was looking for a C/C++ toolset.  He's also
done Ada, back in the days when we were both working at TI Defense.  I plan
to send him a copy of the results of all this fun.
