Some questions about R-(D)COM

Um. rproxy.dll, the R side, *is* compiled under mingw.  It's not clear to
me why one would want to compile the StatConnector under mingw, but Thomas
said he thought it may be possible.  One issue is the quality of
mingw headers.  As Thomas (and I) have VC++6.0, it has not been an issue.

The idea is to develop free software using free tools, and I think VC++6.0
isn't. And when I say free I mean software licensed under the GPL or
another license like that...

Besides, I have read (in Colin Peter's web page) that the mingw can't use
VC++ DLLs, but I have not tested this myself. IS it true?
