No, it isn't stictly Hexchat - although I know that Microsoft's devs 
have been in touch with the Hexchat guys and possibly used Hexchat as a 
starting point.  The project itself is called CoApp:-

http://coapp.org/index.html

 From what I can tell it's effectively some kind of apt-get system for 
Windows (although the apt-get bit is called NuGet).  One of its aims is 
to harmonize the use of GTK on Windows so that (if possible) there'll 
just be one 'official' library stack (built with MSVC, of course) that 
everyone can use.  It'll probably have different options (for VC10 / 11/ 
12 /13 etc) such that debugging is available across all compilers.  I've 
had some limited involvement in the project myself (just discussions 
really, with Microsoft and the other devs).  Progress is a bit slow, 
from what I can tell...  :-(
