CodeWarrior and MFC v4.0

Has anybody had any experience with the CodeWarrior development system
and MFC v4.0?
Anything you can tell me would be appreciated. I'm involved with a
research project at the U of Saskatchewan that will require MS-Windows
as well as MacOS interfaces (and X if we can swing it). CodeWarrior
at $300 seems like a much cheaper tool than the $3,000 MS cross
compiler.
[Moderator's note: Well, actually just my own 2 cents. As I understand
it, the MFC that comes with CodeWarrior is only for use on Windows
platforms (CW compiles for several target processors. That was
certainly the case in CW7, and they don't seem to be indicating that
it's any different in CW8. However, it would be very nice if I were
wrong about this, since I do not have time to get my head around
PowerPlant, I can't afford a personal copy of the MS cross-compiler,
and I'd love to be able to write programs for my Macs.]
Thanks!

My partner just came back from MacWorld where he talked to the CodeWorks
people directly. Here's my understanding of what they offer:
Code Warrior for Windows can compile MFC but NOT PowerPlant (CodeWork's
Mac-based class library)
Code Warrior for Mac can compile PowerPlant but NOT MFC
Neat huh?
Basically, MS hasn't released a x-Platform version of MFC to other tool
developers, you can only get it with Dev Studio. And Code Works has no plans
to port PowerPlant to Windows.
In summary: Code Warrior doesn't solve any x-Platform issues if you plan to
use either MFC or PowerPlant.
On a similar note: does anyone have any experience x-compiling from MSVC++
and MFC to the Macintosh (either PPC or 68k)? I'd love to hear about the
issues involved.
