Yes. But you don't have to build those components (e.g. sbbsctrl.exe) - you
could just use the sbbsctrl.exe from the nightly dev build combined with the
DLLs you build yourself.

The majority of the guts (the DLLs), the console mode apps (including sbbs.exe,
scfg.exe, etc.) and the NT services are built with MSVC2013.
