How to compile nginx on Windows with Visual C++?

http://nginx.org/en/docs/howto_build_on_win32.html claims that nginx can be built with Visual C/C++, however auto/configure always fails here: https://github.com/nginx/nginx/blob/master/auto/types/sizeof because <sys/time.h> is not part of Visual C/C++. Nevertheless, the Windows binaries that are posted seem to be compiled with it, as there are string references in the executable to "Visual C++ CRT". So I feel like I must be missing something obvious.

Please help!
