Website of vorbis and vorbisfile: http://www.xiph.org/downloads/ (you can download the source here)
For modplug, I maintain a fork of the source code because there is no website as far as I know: https://github.com/christopho/libmodplug

So from the sources you can easily get the .h headers.

I maintain compiled binaries of the libraries that are not easy to find if you don't want to compile them yourself: https://github.com/christopho/solarus/tree/master/libraries/win32
You will find there the DLLs of modplug, vorbis and vorbisfile. But these DLLs were made with the MinGW32 environment, I'm not sure if they work with Visual C++. If they don't, then you will have to compile them yourself :) Modplug is easy to compile, and for vorbis and vorbisfile maybe we can find compiled versions of them somewhere.

What is versioned is the CMake file, it allows to create a project with any IDE. I tested it with Unix Makefiles and with CodeBlocks.
But I can't maintain all dependencies, this is too much work to keep them up-to-date. So, I maintain the ones that are hard to find :)
Anyway, building with Windows is a nightware, even when you are an expert…
