The following versions in defaults.sh are no longer in ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies: libxml2-2.6.27 libpng_1.2.32-1_win32 fontconfig-2.4.2-tml-20071015 freetype-2.3.6 Reviewing the diffs, I think that the changes I made to install.sh were diagnostic rather than substantive. I also had trouble getting perl and libintl_perl to behave the right way (the first needs to be msys-perl and needs to be found on the path; the other is used in one package to get intltool 0.40 to work right). I wound up doing some actions manually, and I'm not sure at this point which parts of what I did were actually necessary or correct.
