Regarding the first issue, unless Windows has some new concept of a
default system compiler, I guess all we can do is look for more likely
places. Right now, it's looking at "c:/msys/1.0/bin/gcc.exe". Perhaps
it could do better than that.

What include parameter are you referring to? Do you have a patch?

Osicat is probably the best test-case for cffi-grovel on Windows.
There's also a port of iolib to Windows:
