Of course, in some/most/all except Visual Studio(?) environments, the examples/C directory (and all the others) includes a very simple and functioning Makefile that can be used by a newbie. I guess the problem might be that this uses the pkg-stuff, rpath, etc. that isn't obviously available in VS. know it's against your religion (;-)), but all the pieces are there to do the equivalent. In the end, there are only 2 tiny pieces to put together: 1 paths to the dll's (main ones and drivers) and include files 2 compiler command and flags (1) is under your control, and are all found in the install directory, so this ought to be automat-able (2) is contained in the flags.make Thus I would think it possible for such cases to construct a Makefile. I realise you might not want to support that, but at the very least a tiny set of instructions along the above lines in the README file that will accompany x00c.c would be helpful. If my students try/succeed in doing this from inside the Visual Studio framework, I'd be happy to supply a description of how that is achieved to such a README.
