  For what it's worth, I had an easy time porting djgpp
  programs to Visual C.  As long as you don't do anything
  platform specific, you should be alright.

[Caveats]

  VC4.0 (and presumably under) does not support ``long long''.

  VC4.0 had some trouble with the ``new'' operator, so
  I used ``malloc'' and company instead.  Maybe this has 
  been fixed.


  I'm sure there are more things to worry about, but these
  were the problems I ran in to.  Moving code from djgpp to
  Visual C was not painful.  (Metrowerks on the Macintosh
  was difficult to port to, however).
