More good news in this direction: Microsoft is giving away the Visual C++ 
Toolkit 2003 for free:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/

I don't have the time to test it, I suspect that you'll experiencing 
c-runtime mixing problems. See e.g. bugzilla bug #106409:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106409

For testing this kit should be fine, serious development should stick
with VC++ 6. Hans please correct me, if I'm wrong.

If you have a lot of time, you should be able to recompile all
libs with the VC++ 2003 and overcome the c-runtime mixing problem
this way.
