Well, that was easier that I thought it'd be.  With a bit more snooping
around I found out that the htmlhelp.xsl comes bundled with the docbook
stylesheets, so its a no-brainer to do the convert.  Here's the steps to
convert for anyone who's interested:

$ xmlto htmlhelp planner.xml
Copy the resultant files you your windows box along with the figures
folder.
Download and install the Htmlhelp SDK from Microsoft.com
Launch Html Help Workshop
Open the htmlhelp.hhp file you created in the xmlto conversion
Choose File->Compile
Done

So here's the latest user guide converted to MS Help:
