Has anyone had luck getting the SDK to work with MinGW?

See title. My attempts resulted in dismal failure, with hundreds of gloriously unintelligible errors. I found this:

You can't use the SDK with GCC or MinGW - I don't think they use the same member-function-pointer binary format (which is how the runtime knows what function to call for actions, conditions and expressions), so it just wouldn't work. Sadly C++ makes no specification about the binary format of these things hence we're stuck.

which doesn't give me much hope, but perhaps some genius has hacked something up since then?

I havent heard about anything like that but I think there is a version of the SDK that will work with the C++ Express edition. If not you can always try dreamspark if your a student
