I've attached a file with some modifications to VMMaker-3-2-5 and changes 
to the code on SF (in unified diff format).
I used these to build a 3.2gamma VM using MSVC.  Note that the changes will 
break the gcc build.  I see this as a way station to getting a proper win32 
build with multiple directories for internal and external plugins.  Rather 
than get gcc working with the current lame state, it seems more useful to 
define the unlame state and then move MSVC and gcc to it.

Code Changes (which are independent of the build changes):
1. allow reading of images with the 512 byte Unix header.
2. rename SetDefaultPrinter, which was clashing with a function of the same 
name in the MS SDK.
3. use __int64 rather than long long for MSVC (but the code doesn't really 
use it yet).

Build changes to SF
1. Update the .dsp file (MSVC's "makefile") to bring it up to date and make 
it work with VMMaker changes.

VMMakerChanges
1. The basic vm files are no longer copied from under platform (this is why 
gcc builds will break).
2. The .dsp file is edited on the fly to link to them.

It is also advisable to rename the directory 
platforms/win32/plugins/AsyncFilePlugin to have an h after sync.
The build requires the patched DX7 files available with Andreas's toolkit, 
and it also requires the project file be adjusted to point to the DX7 
includes.  At least for debugging, you also need to add references to some 
of the libs files for DX7.

This does not cope with the MPEG plugin or external plugins.

I  built this on W2K with MSVC 6, all with recent patches.  I also have an 
SDK on my system.
My confidence that all these changes have produced a solid exe is low, but 
it does seem to work.  My biggest doubts center on the newly introduced 
__int64, which has no code changes supporting it, and the code dealing with 
the 512 byte header (see my earlier post).  However, it may be that, since 
Win32 has its own file handling code, the squeakInt64 that is set to 
__int64 never gets used at all.
