If you take the time to setup a Windows build environment (basically Cygwin +
Python + VS), then you can use the Visual Studio debugger.  Note that
Wireshark is still built using nmake rather than a VS project but VS can
attach to the process to debug it.

The reason that the windows build still uses other tools and nmake is that
no-one has found the time and motivation to create, and most importantly
maintain, a VS solution for Wireshark.
