I'm not really sure but even though some of the parts and references are out of date by some 6 or so years, some of it has been updated somewhat recently -  the rPi stuff is modern.  And when I download it populates a directory full of 0.28 patches. What that means for a windows build I don't know but am having a try.

Anthony what's your approach to this going to be (in the interests of minimising duplicated effort)? At the moment I am updating the download links and versions in the build script,  running it then trying to fix the errors one at a time.  I get the feeling it could be a slow process.
