Using Toolkit with GCC - Any problems?

I'm considering buying the Developer's Toolkit, but before I do
I want to make sure that it will do what I excpect it to do. So
could anyone out there help with the following:

1) I'm told that the Developer's Toolkit comes with the required libraries
and header files to exploit the full OS/2 2.0 API. Now I don't want to
invest the $$$ in C Set/2, so is it possible to use the Toolkit with
GCC 2.1 in any sensible manner. Do I just replace the headers in
/gnu/os2-include with the ones from the Toolkit, copy the Toolkit's libraries
to /gnu/lib and start developing, or is there more to it? Anybody with experience
using the Toolkit with GCC 2.1, please comment on how seamlessly the two
integrate.

2) What exactly does the Workframe/2 do. Sadly, in Denmark there's no
special offer on the Developer's Workbench, so I have to buy the Toolkit
and Workframe/2 seperately. I just asked about the prices, and it shows
that I have to bleed aprox. $125 for Workframe/2. What does it do that
justifies this price?

I know that this propably belongs in the FAQ, but I couldn't find any
detailed information - especially 1) is a bit unclear. Any comments
will be mostly appreciated.
