Thanks for the assistance, I persisted with 2.3.4 and now appear to
have  a working VC++ development setup for.

For the record (and if you see any glaring mistakes please let me know, 
here's what I did

I ended up with libxml2 and pcre installed separately.
Under VC++ Tools | Options,  I set the include paths and library paths
so that
VC++ could find the .lib and .h files.

I looked at the Makefile.in and started off by deleting many of the .c
files
from the libswishe project. I then found I had to re-add most of
them...  
The files I ended up using are listed below.

I also had to change some of the libraries listed in the project
settings
dialog, some of them said 
./../../expat/xmlparse/ 
Tools options
change libpcre to pcre.lib

Set include directories to include f:\data\libxml2\include

I hoped I could get it all to compile without changing any headers, but
found I
needed to make changes:

1. In swish.h  (from memory)
uncomment the
    #ifdef _WIN32
    #include "win32/config.h"
and add
    #endif

2. also change:

  #include <dirent.h>
to
  #ifdef _Win32
  #include "win32/dirent.h"
 #else
  #include <dirent.h>
  #endif

3. In extprog.c and http_server.c

  #include acconfig.h

to
  #ifdef _Win32
  #include acconfig.h
  #endif

4. And in xml.h change  the #include  for xmlparse.h
to
   #include "xpat/xmlparse/xmlparse.h"

I did end up with some ugly warinings about not finding strlen and open
in mkstemp.c
possibly forgotten to #include strings.h or something?
