Mateusz,

It is not easy task to compile GDAL with the Embedded VC (but it is
possible, I am sure). The main problem is that we do not have a way to
automatically determine the embedded modification of the VC compiler. Of
course, we can use a special option in the nmake.opt file, but this is
not implemented yet. The main work is in proper header guards placement.

The problem is not in GDAL only, all supporting libraries (libtiff,
libjpeg, libpng, zlib, proj4) should be revised too.

Regards,
Andrey
