Why do you think that POC code is going to be more compact than gcc code
?

Anyway, the major feature of POC is that, that you can use it *without*
gcc. If you have gcc available, I would use gcc ObjC. Besides that gcc
ObjC has also different 'useful extensions' POC doesn't have, eg
protocols.
You might also want to take a look at the libFoundation library, which
should compile with mingw32 with some tweaks (use the CVS version).
