I've done this so far and recompiled ACE/TAO, our application runs OK 
for some hours, it someone is interested:

In acedefaults.mpb:
   specific(vc8) {
	    // Enable structured exception handling
	    ExceptionHandling = 2

	compile_flags = /GS
	link_options = /dynamicbase /SAFESEH /NXCOMPAT
   }


I use these features:
ssl=1
minimum_corba=1
