Visual C++ 6.0 provide correct support of all native C++ cast operators.
The only non-standard behavior in Visual C++ 6.0  (and earlier versions)
related to dynamic_cast is that the VC++ 6.0 allows runtime checks
where  compile-time checks are required by C++ Standard.
This was fixed in Visual C++ 7.0 (Visual C++ .NET 2002).

Generally, regarding the GDAL portability and old versions of
Visual C++, I don't see any problems with using C++ cast operators.
