NMAKE command line tool is shipped with MS VS; it's a classic make tool,
(but, being a Microsoft product, AFAIK it has some syntax incompatibilities
with Unix makes -- don't know the details).

Also, VS IDE has the option to export a makefile. Of course, since it's
auto-generated, it's not the nicest code around, but can be useful in
moments.
