Just use the public CVS on crosswire.org.  Instructions are on the site.

The MSVC project in lib/vcppmake/vc6 is updated regularly to keep in
sync with changes made to the Borland & GCC projects and repair
incompatabilities that they can introduce.  It compiles current CVS
cleanly at the moment.  That's your best starting point with eVC.  When
an eVC library project is ready for public, it should probably go under
lib/vcppmake/evc or similar.

We had a compiling but not functioning port of the libarary a while ago
that used a 3rd party library from Dinkumware, so a good portion of the
work is already done.  Most of the remaining difficulties will relate to
handling any remaining STL in the library (unless it's all removed
already) and file-system functions.
