There is a thread in comp.std.c++ called "Forward declaration of a class as a 
struct" at (sorry about the long URL):

That it is legal.  Both key words, class and struct, define a class --
there is no such thing as a struct in C++.

Anyway, there is a more important question here. How far should KHTML's code 
be changed to work around VC++'s bugs ? I would say not far at all. It can be 
used as a tool to uncover bugs or an overreliance on gccisms but should not, 
at this point, be considered a supported compiler.
