It's clearly an idea that's in the air, as a quick Google search
indicates, but it would be a big job. And remember that msvcrt.dll
also provides basic C++ support, which is tangled up with the MS
implementation.
(There would also be a temptation to fix 'broken' things ;))

PS. Yes, I hear this, that MS does not recommend msvcrt.dll, but _in
practice_ things seem to work ok across Windows versions. (They do
want you to use their tools, after all)
