1. A little step with wheels that fits onto back of a pram. Child #1 stands on the step, child #2 lies in the pram, parent pushes the whole lot around.

I have a C++ program which works under Linux and MacOS (and will probably port nicely to other UNIXes). I also have a Windows XP system, which I want to run it on.
What's the most convenient way to get a C++-friendly build environment on Windows, preferrably without paying anything and preferrably without incurring a (runtime) dependency on Cygwin? I don't need (or particularly want) an IDE.
(The program in question being my backup software. Linux's NTFS implementation does not cut the mustard.)
I have 13 days paid leave to take before the end of November (and will probably take them in the 2nd half of that month).
What would you do with them?
(... for that matter people are welcome to express an opinion as to what I should do with them too. About the only certainty is that it'll involve putting up a shelf if I've not got round to it by then.)
