Not off hand, but there certainly are plenty of conversion tools (dsp2make 
etc.).

Ah, but working with makefiles is only something I need when I'm *not* 
working
under Windows, which is pretty rare.

Anyway, if it were only a matter of manually having to keep in sync a few
makefiles and a few MSVC project files, I would more than happy to do that.
Creating the MSVC project files to get lilypond to build under MSVC
took maybe 1% of the total time I spent on it.
