Well after a little delay, they've now been released.
The Visio Management Pack Designer can be found here:

The Visual Studio Authoring Extensions can be found here:

They're a little self explanatory, but basically the Visio MP Designer allows you to graphically design a management pack within Visio, using built in best practice methods to fairly quickly generate a management pack.
Likewise the Visual Studio extensions add class types and discovery rules etc into Visual Studio.
I'm certainly not a developer and it will be a while before I get chance to test this, but Michel Kamp has written an excellent blog post showing prelease version here:
