I'm not 100% sure what options are used in the Windows build by default, but for windows everything is wrapped up into extensions. You need mysql, you enable the appropriate mysql .dll. You need Apache, you use the appropriate apache .dll. And all of that is controlled through php's ini and/or the apache conf file.
Now if you *really* want to build PHP on Windows you can get a free (GPL) compiler. Just go download cygwin and use gcc. -- Teach a man to fish...
