Look in GCC_XML/GXFront/gxConfiguration.cxx at the FindMSVC* methods. 
You have to add one for MSVC8.  Header patching is pretty tricky. 
You'll have to look at what is done for the other versions and copy it. 
  Meanwhile you can submit a feature request for this to be done:

It will probably be done in the next month or two anyway.
