Coincidentally I have just gone through this process for MSVC a few 
days ago.  I've just uploaded a full set of <cwhatever> headers plus 
a couple of work-arounds for <algorithm> and <memory>.  Just unzip 
the file, copy the original versions of <algorithm> and <memory> to 
the 'original' subdirectory, add the directory to the include path 
before the standard include and away you go.

It's not very well tested (it does compile, though!), it probably has 
omissions/errors, but it's a start.
