I don't think so. In my opinion creating our own spin of the MinGW will be far more bigger task than maintain multiple build scripts. I think maintenance of the Visual Studio build scripts will be easy and they will be modified only when some source file appears/disappears which doesn't happen often. If you are affraid you will have to modify Visual Studio scripts when you would like to add new source file, I will do it, you will simply modify Makefile.am only. And, as I wrote above, "natural MS" build environment will bring to our project more Windows developers, I think.
