Hi,
now I have updated the CMake project files and the Visual C++ fixes.
Extract the two files I have uploaded in kicad-dev.
Then download CMake from http://www.cmake.org
Run the CMake GUI to create visual studio project files, or nmake makefiles.
Set EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH to where kicad-bin is, if you wan't to be able to run and debug the programs directly.

All changes in macros.h aren't necessary for compilation, but I just don't like macros.
None of the changes should case any problems with gcc.

Regards,
Daniel
