Not entirely true. You just typically interact with the wrapper
program, but compiling and lnking are distinct processes in msvc..
Sad maybe, but GCC doesn't even provide a C library, neither the
binutils. One must get them from somewhere else... That one cannot
just download the "Free GNU C compiler" and then try "compiling"
the "Hello World", maybe is the first lecture people will get about
using GCC... At least it was for me over 10 years ago :-(
