The build system GStreamer uses for this (cerbero) should be able to do
that (our windows build bots do that):

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/cerbero/

Documentation might be a bit sparse, pop into #gstreamer on FreeNode if
you have any questions.

Binaries (incl. glib) here:
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/windows/

People do use these also with MSVC projects, and it mostly works fine
at least for GStreamer use cases, but as Ignacio mentioned you might
run into unexpected issues when mixing runtimes.
