I can expand the dev setup guide I wrote for the PSF Sprints to include the
third-party stuff, then try to get that in wider circulation. I currently
gloss over it to get a first-time contributor up and running quickly (since
someone's first look into core dev is unlikely to be fixing sqlite).

I haven't tried the current codebase on VS2010 yet, but it's on my todo
list.
