Nice that you got it working, but it shouldn't be necessary. If you use 
the supplied msys shell, the profile is automatically set up for you to 
source GNUstep.sh

I installed GNustep on windows on several machines, it always worked.

Essentially, the windows install will give you a "ready" environment, 
but without applications. Paths are set up and GNUstep.sh is sourced.

To build an application, for example PRICE, which contains source a 
makefile and doesn't need configuration it is as simple as:

1) unpack
2) make install
3) openapp PRICE.app

if it did not work for you that way, something went wrong or you are 
doing something wrong.
