Much of GRASS can run natively (without Cygwin) on Windows, but you
still need to use GNU make to compile it.

If you want to compile it using VC++, you would need to build the
workspace and project files yourself. As there are over 500 Makefiles,
that would be a lot of work.

Also, you would need to update the VC++ files yourself to keep them in
sync with GRASS; it's inconceivable that we would require GRASS
developers to keep those files in sync with the existing Makefiles.
