It was me, who put them into gitignore because these files are created from the respective *.in files during the build. Maybe I am wrong, but if these files are created from some other sources, they don't belong under source control but the source files do.
If I understand the current setup correctly, a run of autogen.sh and configure is required to create the config.h-msvcxx files from the .in files before a windows build can run. I think it is very unfortunate that some *nix system has to run a configure script to generate the files needed for a windows build, put them into the source control system to be accessible for windows users. Maybe Frederic can chime in here with a better idea of how to solve this?
