Hopefully Chris will get to it today (Wednesday).

Yes, in fact I'd be daring enough to suggest that it be the standard.
We'll have fewer compilation problems with VC++ 2005 because it is
(supposedly) more standards compliant than previous versions. Please use
this download:

There is also an update, as of 9/10/2004:

This was started by Chris while he was at MS but the work he did there
is proprietary to MS. So, you won't see that happen any time soon.
However, Chris was able to determine that doing an MSIL->LLVM translator
shouldn't be difficult.
