Create a Makefile.mak that compiles your program.

Open up the Makefile in visual studio, it'll ask you if you want to
make a project/workspace out of the makefile, say yes.  Add your
source files, and voila!  F7 will compile your program (or the build
command if you're not a keyboard freak like I am :)
