Have you tried Project->Export Makefile from within Visual?  I have no idea
how compatible the makefiles it creates are with GNU make, and I would be
interested in knowing.

Note that the Wine group is also working on WineLib, a library that you link
with your Windows API code that allows it to run as a pure Linux/X
application.  I couldn't figure out from the Wine website
(http://www.winehq.com) whether WineLib will work on Linux platforms other
than x86.  However, it may serve as a useful tool to start transferring
programs over; first compile under WineLib and then start removing
Windows-specific stuff (especially stuff that doesn't work under WineLib...)
