According to what I read in this forum, MinGW is an interesting option..
do you know if it is ABI compatible with MSVC?

otherwise.. I'm gonna explore the solution which consist in building the 
dll with cygwin's gcc .. I've already recompiled Blender with gcc .. I 
know that, in Blender code, there are C++ function that are available 
from Blender's python ..
I've  started exploring the makefile.. apparently they are using dlltool 
  in conjonction with gcc ..

thank you very much for your help ..
