We currently use qmake as our build system.

I haven't tried it but i've seen that there are some kind of support for
using qmake to generate visual studio project files.

How to get visual studio to build the rest of our dependency chain
(except libdivecomputer which have a msvc/libdivecomputer.vcproj
already) is a totally different thing, but its probably doable.


So, we already support windows "native" builds. (msvc must be as native
as it gets on windows?)
