Borland C/C++ 5.5.1 for Win32 (Developers)

I think that msvcrt dlls are default present on windows system so for mingw progs you just provide a few kb binary but for cygwin you need big extra dll. I don't have experiences with OW but both mingw and cygwin use gcc and some standard libs which is good for source code compatability with djgpp or linux gcc, etc.

I don't compare mingw/cygwin with djgpp because I use mingw only for progs using winapi or some specific windows functions that's impossible with djgpp. for other cases I prefer djgpp, it's then possible to compile it under mingw or linux (if some dos/bios specific not used).
