Something sets GNUWIN32_FIND_REQUIRED when building with MSVC, so that you 
get these messages from development/cmake/modules/FindGNUWIN32.cmake:

message(STATUS "ERROR: Could NOT find GNUWIN32, please set GNUWIN32_DIR")
message(STATUS "ERROR: or let cmake download all required files by using -
DLYX_DEPENDENCIES_DOWNLOAD=1")

This was reported by racoon, and I also vaguely remember another report 
about that. Unfortunately I do not understand how GNUWIN32_FIND_REQUIRED 
gets set. Although the variable is called GNUWIN32_DIR it is in fact gettext 
only when using the 3rdparty libs included with LyX (i.e. 
LYX_3RDPARTY_BUILD).
