[Geany] Geany as Windoze noob's learning tool

[Thomas Martitz]

Is cl.exe preinstalled? I thought you need visual studio which I wouldn't consider out of the box.

Best regards

We could always change the default build commands for C and C++ to use 
the Microsoft compiler (cl.exe or whatever) on Windows. Then you could 
compile a C/C++ "hello world" application "out of the box".
