Hello,

Unfortunately, when it comes to building and modifying the build process for 
the Win32 client, you are pretty much on your own.  We do supply all the 
scripts that we use; the tar files for all the 3rd party Open Source code; 
and it is documented in src/win32/README.* (we use README.mingw32).  A good 
number of people have succeeded in building it themselves.

If you want professional help, see me off-list ...

Regards,

Kern

PS: see below for a few additional comments.

This is already possible if you use the right options when invoking the 
installer.

The above is already done on a fresh install

All the above can be done but require a bit of script changes.

This is already part of the installation process.

See the README mentioned above, but I don't think that it talks about 
modifying the installer -- you will need to read the code in 
src/win32/installer
