The best thing would be just to ask Microsoft to add this feature to their
"cl.exe" program. It wouldn't be a one-way road -- Microsoft executables
would also be able to link successfully with GNU g++ DLL's, or Embarcadero
DLL's. If we got everyone on board with it then it would make sense to
standardise it with classes and functions like std::abi and std::abi_wrap.

I've emailed guys in Microsoft before but I never get a reply, not even
that Raymond Chen guy who has a decent blog.
