I'm in the process of testing this -- one problem I encountered was some trailing spaces after the version numbers and before the comments which broke the build. nfortunately some of the compiler error messages were fairly cryptic (c compiler cannot create executables) which sent me down some false trails before I figured it out from the libpng config.log. I've committed the fix (first use of tortoisesvn -- woohoo). My sdist command in mingw is creating zip files by default -- any way to force it to make the tar.gz that the build script is expecting ? I can hack around this by creating my own tarball.....
