InforWorld listed some of the tools available for Windows 3.0 development 
way back at the SDK introduction.  Among them the Supplemental Compiler
Utilities (SCU) disk id available free to purchasers of Windows 3.0 SDK.
The docs mention that the SCU disk "supports other compilers"  The SCU disk
is available from the Windows hotline: (800)323-3577.
