(and one for lib, link & rc as well)  If not, I would like to make one, I know most of how to do it, only thing I dont know is what code to use to execute gcc once the arguments are passed, what code to use to wait until gcc has finised and what code to use to pass the return code from gcc back to the process that called the cl stub.


There's been talk in the past about this but no one has contributed such a 
wrapper AFAIK.  In terms of the calls you refer to, I assume you'd want to 
use spawn() and friends in POSIX-land and CreateProcess() and friends in 
Win32-land.  However, if I were doing this, I would consider just scripting 
this.
