I've been using Mitab for many years, first with VS6, then VS2005, and for the last year or so, VS2008. I haven't had any problems building it, but I create my own static library project and add the Mitab source files to it manually. If you have problems with the VCPROJ file provided, just create your own.
Also, in relation to the the linker problems reported in the other posting with using Mitab and GDAL together, there's two other solutions than the one Daniel put forward. You could change the function and class names in one of the projects and rebuild it (e.g. add an extra prefix to them all to avoid the clash), or you could try changing the order of the libs in your linker input settings, although I'm not sure that would help in this case.
Cheers,
Anthony.

The VCPROJ files may not work, but in case that helps, the makefile.vc
should work with VC++ 2008 Express Edition, that's what I use to produce
the releases.
