I agree. I did quite a lot of testing before writing the suggestions for 
this. I had to change my mind some times. (I struggled hard to get MSYS 
working for building Emacs but finally gave it up.)

When I was doing this I also looked into the tools for the run time 
environment for Emacs on w32. I think that should be considered too when 
writing instructions for setting up a building environment. Doing so is 
a bit frustrating, but maybe also tells us what should be changed in 
Emacs to make things easier on w32.
