You are aware that different MSVC major versions do not produce binary 
compatible output for C++ sources, right? I would suggest that you match 
your MSVC version to the software pack you are customising (if the 
vendor also used MSVC8, then they must have already fixed these issues, 
so ask them, but if they are using such an old ORB version I suspect 
they used an older MSVC version too).
