MSVC build using standard build tools

Description

It should be possible to drive the MSVC tools (principally the compiler & linker) from autotools, which would provide us with a single build chain for all platforms.

This thread suggests it is mostly a matter of installing MSYS (from mingw, but not using its compiler) and passing suitable options to configure:
