I didn't read original K&R (i.e. in English), and do not know how they
call this technique, but Stroustrup uses the term "include guards".

Once I tried to build libtiff using eVC. I do not remember details, but a
mess with headers was the main problem. I haven't forced enough to
commit the stuff into libtiff CVS, so all of that remains outside of the
main tree. I do not think there will be a big hassle to port GDAL to
eVC.

As a first step you should write your own cpl_config.h.evc, because
cpl_config.h.vc is not suitable for that compiler. Also conditional
compilation in cpl_vsisimple.cpp and cpl_port.h should be corrected (to
isolate fcntl.h, for example).

Andrey
