I belive it is possible :-)

I don't think that main problem is with the compiler determination.
For now, I see there are some libraries/files missed in C standard 
library used by eVC++. But it is also possible to work wih this.

eVC++ IDE prvides similar BAT file as "big" Visual Studi to reconfigure
build environment (INCLUDE/LINK path, etc.)

What do you mean as "heade guards placement"?

Yes, you are right. But i do not want to use/have libtiff/libjpeg/libpng
in my GDAL (OGR) for Windows CE.
I do only need Vector support.
But proj4 is needed.
