With 1.08 version of lego and Turbo C++, there are too many errors 
related to namespaces, system libraries etc.

With *wx-Devcpp* <http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/> windows compilation is 
relatively straightforward. Create a new project file (main.cpp and 
gtp.cpp is enough for benchmarking), Replace get_seconds(), install 
boost library (a package is available at devpaks.org if you don't want 
to compile the library) and you are done.

float get_seconds () {
    return double(clock()) / double(CLOCKS_PER_SEC);
}

I know this is not a precise way of calculating time, but if it is good 
enough for fruit, it is good enough for me.
