Default compiler behaviour for b19

Tue Sep 9 23:33:00 GMT 1997

It's very important to me to have possibility produce native win32 binaries.
It doesn't matter, whether this option will be default. I like GNU tools, but i
want my code be portable between compilers. That's why l'm using Minimalist
package by Colin Peters (thanks for them).
