It sounds like gcc/msvc are the ones people would be most happy with. By turnaround, do you mean them actually running? I don't see why it wouldn't be possible for a subset of configurations.
Considering the 1.34 regression tests, which only cover officially supported platforms, between gcc and msvc there are 16 variants. You may decide to cover only a subset, but you must test all the others to ensure you didn't break anything. I wish I could afford to run so many regression tests each night.
I still think that a revived bug traking tool, where people who care post warning clearing patches, is more viable.
Sure, it's the acceptance of those patches which is a trouble (though I may be wrong) Sohail
