I also have the same setup.  I purchased a Willow VGA-TV and inside it was a
15 pin connector.  I just purchased some multistrand cable and a 9 pin D
connector and set to wiring it myself from the pin diagrams in the NEC manual
and the Willow manual.  Works like a charm.

If you don't want to do it yourself (it's easy) you can give a company by the
name of Redmond Cable a call at 206/882-2009 and they will probably have a
cable in stock or they will make it custom for you.  Most of their prices are
reasonable and I wouldn't expect you'd pay any more than say $25 for such a
adapter cable.
