recommended C++ compiler for R package ?

Dear All,

I'm an interactive brokers customer and also a fan user of R.
I wish to use IB TWS API directly from R.

To reach this goal i intend to write a piece of C++ code,
probably in form of a package,
which has to be able to speak both with the TWSAPI, and with R
(at least callable from R).

My question is if there is a recommended compiler
for developing an R package, or if it doesn't matter ?
Reading the docs, g++ seems often used, (but often on linux machines).

I have M$VC++6.0, Borland C++ Builder 6, but those compilers like
to add unuseful stuff, so i'm thinking about g++, but it seems
that g++ has no associate IDE on windows which is my OS.

Advices much appreciated.
Thanks
