they're evil because they force me, the innocent user, to use square brackets for accessing variables. And the '[' and ']' are very hard to type in on German keyboards.

No. It's similiar to the difference of DPMI v0.9 and DPMI v1.0 hosts. Some things can't work with DPMI v1.0 anymore. Sometimes new things have to "break" compatibility, you know?

> Still, I have no idea why a compiler needs full multitasking

It isn't "the compiler", but CygWin and MinGW want to provide a full environment with shell, make, gcc and this other lunix crap.
