Hi Brandon,

I'm using http://cccl.sourceforge.net/ as a wrapper for microsoft's 
compiler and linker in order to build a theorem prover & the Qt-using 
GUI with MSVC [1], and it works nicely with a normal autotools setup.

There is also a automake-to-MSVC-project coneverter that you could try 
out, as well.

cheers,
