That should be relatively easy task. There are three steps:

1. Edit nmake.opt file in the GDAL root directory and adjust the build
   options if needed (every option has a comment).
2. Run vcvars32.bat file from the MSVC bin directory to get the
   apprpriate command line environment.
3. Change directory to the GDAL root and run command

   d:\gdal\> nmake /f makefile.vc

   If you want to install compiled binaries you should run

   d:\gdal\> nmake /f makefile.vc install

   afterwards (don't forget to change install path in the nmake.opt).
