Sorry, I was confused.  I thought you wanted gcc for Windows.

I guess you really want the free version of Visual C++
http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/

I'm not impressed with the documentation of that either.  But if you 
don't like that documentation, I'm not in any of the mailing lists or 
forums where you should complain about it.

Windows ports of Unix projects typically have poor documentation.  If 
there is decent documentation, it isn't easy to find from the support 
web site.

Asking for help might work.  Complaining is less likely to work.
