Great I really need help to improve MSVC compatibility.

I did some progress to improve MSVC compatibility in the last months. Up to
now I limited myself to parsing the .h included with MSVC 2008 in
-fsyntax-only mode. Currently all the .h without template code will parse
correctly. I haven't really tried parsing any .c or .cpp files yet.

I suggest you download a large MSVC source code base, try to parse it with
clang, see what the errors are and submit patches that will fix them to
clang-commit.

Avoid source base that depends on MSVC template header files. They won't
compile, this is something I am currently investigating but it is far from
trivial.

Another  thing: clang doesn't have a MSVC compatible driver. That could be a
great project to work on.
