Yes, I did so a few months ago. The relevant commit is 
https://github.com/kinke/druntime/commit/6a1c9d330d97bc81f545274aab165475758dbb63. Merging the VS 2015 stuff with the older legacy stuff without a version declaration would probably be not that simple and make the MS exceptions even uglier. Ideally, we'd drop all legacy MS stuff soon, cleansing druntime and phobos from ugly MS workarounds in various places.
I didn't bother checking out the new structure (VCRuntime, 
AppCRT, DesktopCRT) - we need what we need in druntime and will 
then have appropriate dependencies. :)
