At first I was going to say that I don't necessarily think that is
absolutely required.
But then I actually tried building a simple GIMP plug-in with MSVC9
(i.e., the compiler from Visual Studio 2008), and although I did get a
.exe file, it failed oddly when attempting to run it, crashing in
__security_init_cookie, whatever that is. I didn't bother
investigating further.
If you happen to have the venerable MSVC6 still, with that it might be
much easier, as it uses the same C runtime as mingw-built code.

I think that website kinda speaks for itself...
