Win+Cygwin has been reported to work after minor modifications.
Moredetails you can find in mailing list archive, look for postings from
Dmitri Grigorenko and Gilles Seguin. Gilles is currently applying his
patches (Cygwin fixes) in rel_2_8 branch, they are going to be merged
into trunk after 2.8 is out.
Win+MSVC perhaps requires a little bit more tweaking. Most likely your
problems are either due to libgc or libltdl. My understanding is that to
be able to run under MSVC you need to get rid of dependencies on
libltdl. If you don't need plugins (and most likely you don't) it should
be easy to do. Some time ago Asen Kovachev was struggling on XP+MSVC and
he succeede as far as I remember. The changes have not been checked in,
however.

Could you post the output of configure and content of config.log ?

Not recommended. Let's move forward, not backward :-)
