I've created packages for WxWindows, FLTK and SDL, and they will be
simultanously released with Dev-C++ beta 3.

And I think you really should not compare M$VC++, an expensive
commercial Microsoft Windows-oriented development tool, with Dev-C++,
written by some volunteers.
I've never used MSVC++ so I don't even know what it offers.
