Antony,

Funny you should mention C libraries. I'm on vacation from my day job 
until January 4th. and have just begun to port the NetBSD standard 
library for use with Clang. I'm targeting Linux and embedded platforms, 
however, so I don't think it would be of much use under Windows.

I'm pretty sure MinGW just provides headers and uses the standard MS C 
runtime library, at least without MSYS. That would probably be a good 
place for you to start.
