We actively support Windows, but *only* when compiled with the mingw toolchain and we only test this for cross-compilation from Linux. GCC and/or CLang is a hard requirement - we won't support Microsoft C compilers for building libvirt. The GCC/Clang produced DLLs should be usabled from apps built with other compilers though. If all you need is the DLLs, then you could alternatively get the Fedora mingw RPMs for libvirt and extract their content.
