Both MSYS and Cygwin are good for building Unix/Linux-style applications on 
Windows, but they are normally used with gcc.  I don't know if they are 
useful for compiling with a MS compiler or what problems you might have 
linking gcc-generated DLLs or .lib files with MS-generated code, but if you 
find out please let us know.

I have never used Microsoft compilers, but if I can be of assistance with 
Cygwin or MSYS, let me know.
