Sure. The code is all in admin/nt/dist-build, as are the setup
instructions.

It's always good to get testing -- either of the releases or the
snapshots. I post about those here, first.

A variation on my build scripts would do that, I think. Currently, I
just build out of source and then zip everything up. Most of it is not
emacs specific; with some fiddling, it would work for any autoconf'd
package.
At the end of the day, though, I think software like guile is probably
better support within an msys2 distribution with a package manager.
