Well, I've got it all to build so far (no GRASS or Python support) using a  
cmake generated Visual Studio solution. I had to tweak a few files in  
qgis_core (tools.cc springs to mind). I also had to tweak one of the  
cmakelists.txt files. Having said that, I've not been able to get it to  
run yet. I could copy all the dlls to one directory by hand but I can't be  
bothered. I'll need to have a look at cmake's install stuff and find some  
way of getting it to set up Visual Studio's dependencies stuff (copy  
dependent dlls to runtime directories and so on). I've also modified the  
win32 icon file so that the .rc file can now be included directly in the  
source file list for building. If anyone's interested, I can attempt to  
put a patch together. Bear in mind though that this is a work in  
progress...
