Perhaps.

Anyway, if you have MSVC and the right environment variables (either
preset or via VCVARS32.BAT), you can go to emacs/nt, do:

configure --with-msvc
nmake bootstrap

and you should have a fully working Emacs without having to resort to
changing lisp/makefile or any other file.  The only things lacking are
the "Elisp" and "Emacs Lisp Introduction" info manuals (their building
process is not supported on Windows).

If the above procedure does not work for you, I think it is a bug worth
reporting.
