I know of at least one company which is already doing this.  Watcom ships
its advanced C6.0 compiler(for the DOS world) with Express C (apparently
a very fast compiler with good debugging). Note: I don't work for these
people, and I've never used their product.

QuickC by Microsoft might be another example; I'm not sure how compatible 
it is with the Microsoft C 5.1.
