I tried it out with ffmpeg simply because we use msvc on our build machine for other projects, however I found it so difficult to get going I quickly ditched it and used msys2 to set up a nice clean relocatable install of mingw64 that I could transfer to the build machine easily. Realistically, even if c99wrap works, if you want to support compiling under msvc you either need to use cmake or similar to generate vcproj's on demand based on build environment (and therefore have a dependency on cmake being installed) or someone needs to maintain checked in project files - not much fun at all.
