My last post had a solution for linux for the wcrtomb_l function which
might work for the Microsoft compiler if it were changed as shown
below.  If it does work for the Microsoft compiler it could be
mimicked for the other missing functions.

#ifndef __APPLE__
//Purpose:
//  Provide functions whose name is suffixed with _l
//  and which have locale_t as last argument, but
//  which are missing om tje glibc library and have
//  a different name in MS visualc++ library.
//Method:
//  Use uselocale to temporarlity change the current
//  threads locale to the last argument, then
//  perform the operation with the abbreviated function
//  (i.e. same name except without _l suffix), and then
//  restore the locale to previous value.
//

#if defined(__GLIBC__)
  #if( __GLIBC__ > 1) && (__GLIBC_MINOR__ > 2)
    //From page 141 of http://people.redhat.com/drepper/tllocale.ps.gz:
    //  Starting with glibc 2.3 everyting will be available
    //So, indicate that uselocale is available in glibc:
    #define _LIBCPP_HAS_USELOCALE
  #endif
#elif defined(_MSC_FULL_VER)
  //Using Microsoft visualc++ compiler, which
  //uses _XXX_l for corresponding apple function, XXX_l.
  #define _LIBCPP_MSC_LEAD_UNDERSCORE
#endif

  size_t
wcrtomb_l
  ( char* et
  , wchar_t it
  , mbstate_t* ps
  , locale_t locale_new
  )
  {
  #if defined(_LIBCPP_MSC_LEAD_UNDERSCORE)
    return _wcrtomp_l(et,it,ps,locale_new)
  #else
    #if defined(_LIBCPP_HAS_USELOCALE)
      locale_t locale_old=uselocale(locale_new);
    #endif
      size_t result=wcrtomb(et,it,ps);
    #if defined(_LIBCPP_HAS_USELOCALE)
      uselocale(locale_old);
    #else
      #warning "wcrtomb_l improperly implemented for this config."
    #endif
      return result;
  #endif
  }

#endif
