As far as I know, you cannot create a (strictly) C-only version of the
Windows port because at least some parts will insist on using ASM anyway.
If you could build a C-only version of the library, there'd be no need for
GCC when using MSVC.
Note that even if you could, the resulting shared library would not be ABI
compatible with the ASM version of the library due to different calling
conventions.
So while it's good to know and keep in mind (4.3 should really do this
better), I don't think it needs to bother us too deeply.
