I'm looking into the problems that have been reported to me regarding using the
pre-built compiler tools & cygwin on Win98.

Besides that: You said: "Of course, every time I look at that list of languages

that might be true to a certain extent :-), why not making it more complete by
adding support for Interactive C (IC4), which is not as limited as NQC, but as
far as I know is not nearly as tricky to install as brickOS (and therefore might
be integrated more easily)?

IC4, so far as I can tell, doesn't have a command-line compiler which makes it
quite a bit more difficult to integrate with BricxCC.  I will look into it
further to see if there is some way I could provide Interactive C support of
some kind.
