Sync (29): msvcrt cpp

[Jon Griffiths]

Hi,

When I first wrote it, I thought so too. But coming back to fix it,
it seemed both needlessly complex and was simply hiding casts (I like
to be able to understand my own code, even if I haven't looked at in
2 years). Each derived class doesn't add any data or define new
methods; they are the same struct, only the vtables differ (and even
then, only for the ctors).

I find this version easier to read and modify, but its your decision
to make. Attached is an updated patch which typedefs the derived
classes so each function takes a distinct type. Hopefully this is an
acceptable compromise.

Cheers,
Jon
