Wen, The only form of end-user PyMOL compilation we support on Windows is via Python's distutils facility.
Assuming that your system paths are set up correctly, distutils compilations will work fine with msvc6 -- no Makefile is required. Your own c/c++ code should be built as a standalone DLL -- separate from _cmd.*, and you should use the Python interpreter to bring all of the native components together at runtime.
