All of the platform-specific settings are determined by the varible $ 
(OS_NAME).  Normally it is set in packages/Makefile.buildlayout using  
the result of uname.  I think this should work then:

make CC=i586-mingw32msvc-cc OS_NAME=windows vbap

But you'd be the first to try, so there might be bugs.
