No, I don't think Microsoft VC++ is up to the task.  Try the win32 port
of gcc at http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/.

You will probably also run into some additional problems so there is a
good change that the code will need to be modifed in minor ways.  I have
no personal interest in a win32 port however I will corporate with
anyone who wants to give it a shot.

You might have some trouble with the popt library as that is not my code
and I don't know how unix specific it is.  Most of my code also uses a
lot of modern features of C++ and thus it requires a modern compiler.
