It seems a lot of us have the same goals. Perhaps we can group efforts?
That is, Andrew, if your willing to give up MFC in favor of ATL/WTL ;-)
There's an awesome open source (no license restricted) syntax coloring ATL
control linked from www.codeproject.com, and a cool docking style control I
found for WTL on another site.

Nice thing about ATL/WTL is the code compiles directly in there (they are
all template based frameworks), so its very light. No need to distribute a
bloated MFC DLL around with the app. WTL even has a CString replacement with
no MFC depedencies.

Last night I was also able to recompile GCC v3.0 using Cygwin bash emulator
and its toolset . Tomorrow if I have time I'm going to look into removing
cygwin depedencies on GCC and other bintools. Since, using Cygwin imho isn't
appropiate for an IDE, when such tools can be recompiled using mingw and
only have dependencies on the MSVCRT.DLL file. Anyone have any experience
recompiling under cygwin tools to use mingw based headers? Im still amazed I
managed to recompile GCC on a windows box. My network card went by-bye on my
other machine, so Mandrake will be collecting dust for awhile.

Also, EloGBA is the only open source GBA emulator around. Anyone assess how
difficult it would be to clean it up a bit and add sound support?

at the elf docs, but haven't delved in yet. Too many other things on my
plate.
