Changing the subject so that it does not muddy up the main point of your
post and thread.

I have always found the Win32 build process to be quite easy. The only
thing I do not like is that when it comes to customizing the process it is
not trivial. For example, if you wanted to build without BDB support this
is easy to do on *nix, but on Windows you either have to hack the project
files, or learn how to hack gen-make.py and the system itself.

All that said, I do not see how it could be much better.
