Thanks,

I've realized that my question was a bit OT, but you were so kind to answer 
it anyway.

I'm posting 2 possible solutions, so it will be stored in the ML archive.

1) REDIR
A google search using keys: "khan redir" yielded (first result) the 
directory: 
http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/mumit-khan/pub/khan/egcs/mingw32/misc/ 


There I found "redir.zip".

To solve my problem:
redir -eo gcc -c c:\test\hello.cpp | reverse_slashes

2) ERROUT
in the message http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1166366
I found out about "errout", a program which may be downloaded using the 
link: http://www.simtel.net/pub/pd/12516.html

To solve my problem:
errout gcc -c c:\test\hello.cpp | reverse_slashes


Finally, here is the code for "reverse_slashes"

reverse_slashes
---------------
/* turn slashes ('/') into backslashes ('\\') */

#include <stdio.h>
int
main()
{
   int c;

   while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
     putchar((c == '/') ? '\\' : c);

   return 0;
}
