Argh, while thinking about it, it came to my mind, that i would have to
preload the compiler, which isn't possible, since i can only preload
binaries that i have built using my wrapper.... Unfortunately microsoft
isn't using my software yet :)

Also i looked at the above link you sent me. I can't use this, since i
had a look at cl.exe and saw, that it is a mixed mode C++.NET app, which
links against the .NET Framework (arg) and is not pure native code.

Was a good idea anyway...

Cheers, Markus
