I finally got it to work. When running on 64-bit Windows, you have to specify --with-target-bits=32, otherwise building with Visual Studio Express will fail. It's obvious in retrospect, but somewhat difficult to figure out, considering that ./configure explicitly ignores the failure to locate the 64-bit environment variables file from Visual Studio.
For 64bits you need to also install the Windows SDK [1], from a blog post by Volker [2] VS Express does not include all the necessary stuff for 64bits.

It's always a bit difficult to tell if build instructions from three years ago are still valid. I'll keep those resources in mind and try them once I need building on 64 bit. Thanks.
