Martin,

I did attempt to do this with considerable help from the folk here, and I 
think I even got as far as set of executables once, but as I'm not a C/C++ 
person, the effort involved was considerable, and I still had many 
"warning" messages (and I want to see no error or warning messages when I 
compile my own software).

That was with VS2005, and I don't think that even runs under the Windows-7 
I'll have on my next PC.  Could try the XP for WIndows-7, I suppose. 
There is a free Borland C/C++ compiler for Windows, but I don't know what 
effort might be required to port to that version, or whether it will run 
under Windows-7.

I realise that my efforts don't qualify as "building ntp under Windows", 
but I did try!

Cheers,
David
