Guys, Fantastic you are working together on windows issues. As I've never built Mapnik on windows I can't be of much help - but certainly want to a resource if you hit odd compile errors. Also, Roel has done a great job filing tickets and calling attention to windows issues - I intend to give each of them a close look for inclusion in Mapnik 2.
