I have a hard time seeing the point of creating a build of libdispatch which only supports the _f() variants, in other words, and if the user is already essentially forced to use clang in order to truly benefit from libdispatch, then why not make the bootstrapping of clang on each given target platform a prerequisite?  (I googled for "clang for windows" and got a fair number of hits, btw, though I don't know how fully baked that port is yet).   Just a thought!

You should definitively give it a new try. C++ has greatly improved. Last build supports most if not all of c++98, and a bunch of C++0x features too.
If clang failed to build your c++ code, you should fill bug reports.
