To the best of my knowledge, nobody has ever seriously tried to build project descriptions for Eclipse or MSVS to run things natively (i.e. without cygwin) under windows. So I am a bit doubtful whether that is a useful route to go. I should also note that until very recently, Microsoft's C++ compiler was entirely inadequate for compiling complicated C++ code -- don't even try, you'll be frustrated very quickly :-) That said, you can of course always use an IDE just for editing and source browsing, and then go back to the cygwin shell to compile and run things. That takes away half the fun of an IDE, but it works. Eclipse has a tool that lets you import a whole project and you can use it on the directory into which you unpacked deal.II if you want.
