I suggest you create a new folder named "screenreaders" under
/src/contrib and put all your files there. You can put your own folder
structure under that folder, just as you like.

You can find them here:
http://nightlybuilds.tortoisesvn.net/latest/

for win32, it's here:
http://nightlybuilds.tortoisesvn.net/latest/win32/
and for x64 it's here:
http://nightlybuilds.tortoisesvn.net/latest/x64/

The 'full' folder contains a full build, including all language packs.
It is built twice a week.
the 'small' folder only contains the msi installer, debug symbols and
the svn client binaries, but no language packs. It is built 5 times a
week (on those days the full build is not built).

Yes, if it works as I think it does.
I've tested it with the inspect.exe tool which comes with the windows
SDK, so it should work with your screen reader too.
