Why is it so important to get ReactOS to compile with Visual C--?  Other 
than the ability to mark ntoskrnl.exe as a relocatable EXE rather than a DLL 
I don't see what the point is...

(I tried looking at the binutils source to see if I could modify it to allow 
relocatable EXEs, but it looks impossible without a major rewrite of the PE 
code.  The idea that EXEs are never relocatable and DLLs always are is a 
fundamental (bad) assumption of the code.  I encountered this problem in my 
work with Xbox.)
