That's just cmd syntax. Running that project through MSVS works just fine for us.
One thing we haven't documented yet is that you need to set the environment variable WebKitOutputDir, and make sure perl and gnuwin32 are in your path. I have also found that some other SDKs interfere with the build causing it to fail. Once I backed out all dev tools not related to building this code it worked fine. I'm not sure what was to blame, but my guess is something had installed alternative tools with the same names (such as another perl). Once our code moves into a public repository - hopefully Monday or Tuesday - we will be able to give better instructions for building the code.
