I think the better way would be to get your prototype and make it a wrapper to the vc command line compiler. This would mix the standards and features of visual c++ and the habilities of your interface and would make it possible to use your interface together with other people using the vc interface in the same place or project ... This would be a nice open source initiative. Sun and ibm might be interested in your research, but MS is likely to have more rentable things to do than getting worry with something a researcher made to become blind programmer's lives easier ...
