I simply followed the instructions available on:
http://spice-space.org/page/WinQXL

Building

1. Get latest WinDDK and install it
2. Grab spice-protocol and snapshot of win32qxl and extract somewhere
3. Open a Free Build x64 command prompt from the WinDDK
4. set SPICE_COMMON_DIR=c:\path\to\spice-protocol
5. cd to qxl directory
6. build -cZg

Signing

Follow the steps here on how to sign the driver with a test certificate:

Installing

1. Open elevated command prompt
2. bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
3. bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
4. Copy qxldd.dll to c:\windows\system32\
5. Copy qxl.sys to c:\windows\system32\drivers\
6. Reboot

That's roughly the steps I took.
