I have been threatening to write a build using Ant (http://ant.apache.org) + cpptasks (http://ant-contrib.sf.net) which have the added benefit of covering other compilers like Borland C++ from the same build script. It is a not tonight but before say 15 Jan task for me unless somebody beats me to it.
By the way, I'm trying to track down some crashes that I'm having when using APR from log4cxx (http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx) only on Win32. Basically, create and destroying a mutex without ever locking it seems to be crashing and I'm getting what appears to be pool corruption when doing IO on multiple files on the same pool. I'll eventually either find out what I'm doing wrong that only causes Win32 to crash or I'll log bug reports with specifics. Do these symptoms ring a bell with anybody?
