for Cygwin related stuff. In theory I think one could compile VLC with VC++ 6.0 but it would require some serious effort to fix/modify code.

Cygwin is currently only working option under Windows if you want to compile VLC or some part of it.

Currently no (you can edit code, but compiling or debugging won't work).
