It's a tough one :) Well, being able to build like on unix shouldn't be too hard to do, just have to call nmake on the dsp, but that wont work for the vast majority of users. Someone needs to provide prebuilt extensions that can be downloaded via pear, and unfortunately, I don't see any way other than having a build per version of PHP. So the built extensions would have to have a filename like: extname-phpversion-extversion.zip. Another idea would be to have the extensions built for windows on the server side, and cached if one was already built.
