I built the May version of mono in Visual Studio, and I have a VS 7 solution which builds and runs. I never did the test suite on it though.
The main issues were just fiddling with the slight incosistencies between the Win32 api definitions in cygwin and windows, and handling a few GCC dependencies in a couple of places. I also had to create VS .lib's for the various dll's mono links to.. but I just used the lib.exe for that. I can send you my build, as well as my detailed log of what I did to make it work.
