You can't use Windows and expe3ct to be cmopoletley free of MS, and n this case, MS does provide a free of charge compiler, so you really are OK -- if you do'nt want to register with them, register under a false name and temporary email address -- my guess is they only do it so they can spam you.

It's really not that unusual for Windows software, even open source, to be built with the MS compilers out of the box. Clearly ,if you just want to do a quick bug check, you don't want to do too much, but you could figure out how to build it with GCC on Windows -- I'm sure it can be done. I'm also sure it will be a lot of work!
