Oh, yes! VC++ has bugs! But it has caught a couple of stucts that were 
predeclared as classes, for example. The code is being run through another 
compiler, which has it's own set of warnings, so VC++ might catch some real 
issues, if not bugs.

Almost all of the khtml/kjs/pcre now compiles. VC++ has only one major feature 
deficency. Apparently macros can take variable arguments in GCC. Not so in VC++.

Otherwise, the changes needed to compile were really minor. Apple has done a 
great job of sparating KHTML from Qt.

I am considering using VCF to implement the guts of Kwq for Win32.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/vcf/

Can anyone recommend a C++ GUI library for Win32, one that supports lightweight 
controls?
