Is it worth trying to have configure settings that would allow gmake to
build with VC++ then?

fine.

VC++ "might" be a problem for the commercial vendors. I believe their is
a royalty requirement. It may
be better to look at Borland.

There is no royalty requirement for binaries built with VC++ even if shipped
with the Microsoft redistributable runtime DLLs (which you can also link
statically with).
