Details of how we build vic for windows as part of the AG toolkit can be 
found in AccessGrid/packaging/BuildVic.py (a less than straightforward 
location, yes).

You should be able to build vic by opening a visual studio command 
window in the ag-media directory, and:

devenv vic\vic.sln /rebuild "DDraw Release"

You've found the right place to send the patches.  We'll have to look at 
them more closely to decide whether they have general applicability 
before committing them; a more detailed description of what they 
accomplish would be helpful.

If you run into more trouble, continue sending to ag-dev.
