WrapMSVC might do what you want, or it might be the reverse, I forget. 
If the reverse, it's a model for you to invert. :-)

Intel's EDK-II -- aka Tiano Core, the UEFI reference implementation -- 
has a build system is pretty interesting: it wraps MSC/GCC/ICC (and 
linker, etc) and works on multiple OSes. A non-EFI fork of this 
toolchain might be interesting for general purpose use. And even if the 
build system isn't used, there are some tool conversion tables that 
would be useful for any new MSC/GCC tool wrapping project.

Microsoft's CoApp project is doing the reverse: wrapping GCC to use MSC. 
This is an open source project, so some of this compiler wrapping code 
might be forked off to a non-CoApp-based tool.
