I'd like to have a portable library that builds in lots of compilers. Yeah, gcc is everywhere, but few people actually use gcc for Windows development. Getting libmad to compile and work in Visual C++ and maybe C++Builder is clearly useful, IMO.

Hmmm. FPM_DEFAULT should only be considered as a very last resort for compilers/architectures which don't allow access to the top 32bits of the 64bit result of a 32x32bit multiply. It loses significant accuracy, and is best avoided. If you can't get VC++ to work efficiently with 64bit signed integers, then MAD probably isn't the decoder to use.
What's wrong with using gcc for Windows (Cygwin) then? There is certainly a way to wrap libmad with a compatible CV++interface and link against it.
