I have just built LE 0.5.18 for Win32, please give it a try:

That's not possible, I'm afraid.
For larger projects (read: everything more complex than a "hello world"
application) you need some kind of build *system*. As most FOSS
projects, we use GNU autotools + GNU make + gcc. The effort of
maintaining project files for commercial build systems like Borland C++
Builder or Microsoft Visual C is just not worth it.

Right, Cygwin does not work. Use MinGW instead.

What do you mean with "prepare"? Also, bison ist not required in any way.

It's already there: "configure". Just use it! :-)
Please see
http://www.gnunet.org/hacking_win32_build.php3
on how to setup MinGW.
Building libextractor is easy. Really.
