Oh, bummer, I even thought the Windows SDK still had the command-line compilers. What's it good for then?

Most open-source projects don't even bother supporting MSVC, and I don't blame them one bit. MinGW-w64 gives a significantly less painful route to Windows support, and allows you to pretend MSVC doesn't exist in a lot of cases.

I am trying to work out what use the Windows SDK is without Visual Studio (which also includes the Windows SDK!).
