Brian's advice is good, but you can get a free evaluation of ifort Windows
for about 3 months:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-visual-fortran-compiler-for-windows/announcement/193/
This will require Microsoft linker and libraries, such as those which come
with Visual Studio Express 2005 and 2008 (for 32-bit support only). I
generally run it by opening the ifort command window and running the
cygwin.bat there. You may then have to edit the ifort.cfg so as to direct
ifort to use the Microsoft linker path, rather than the cygwin one.
