Here's another suggestion....  It won't be terribly helpful for those of you
who prefer 'make' etc but if you need to use multiple compilers and want to
make life simple, this IDE might also be worth considering:-

http://www.codeblocks.org/

Code::Blocks has been specifically designed to accommodate multple compiler
environments.  It comes pre-configured for a variety of popular compilers
including Borland C++, Microsoft Visual C++ (various flavours), GNU GCC,
Watcom, Cygwin GCC, MinGW, Tiny C, Digital Mars etc.

Each project can specify which compiler / debugger it wants to use.  Paths
(include / lib etc) can be specified either globally (as a default for all
compilers) or individually (specific to each compiler) or a combination of
both.  You can also specify whether the project's paths take precedence over
the global paths or vice-versa.  Finally, it's open source and is available
for Linux, Windows and Mac.
