Actually there is one out there. Although I am not sure
if that is the exact thing you are looking for.
I recently downloaded omniORB (a Corba ORB that downloadable
from the net).
It comes with all the sources and one of the tools it uses
is a clwrapper .
Here is the comment line from the clwrapper.c
/*
clwrapper.c - wrapper around Visual C++'s "CL" program to perform
* GNU-WIN32 file name translation (from unix-like to dos-like names).
*
* Compile this program with "cl clwrapper.c advapi32.lib".
*/
I forgot the site name where I got omniORB from but I'm sure
if you search the net you'll find the site. Oh yeah, omniORB is not
the same as omniBroker .
