Having dealt with the problem of other-system support on a smaller
scale for a decade, I would advise against providing any support for
issues not specific to SQLite.  The folks who develop SQLite know more
than anyone else about SQLite, but they have no special knowledge of
how to build Windows binaries.  Any advice is apt to be incomplete,
possibly misleading, and will easily fall out of date (especially wrt
Windows).  

That doesn't have to mean no help at all.  If the project wants to
supply a Makefile suitable for NMAKE, for example, then of course it
should document how that's used and what it does.  But someone who
isn't using the tool correctly and is getting a bad result is better
served by basically suggesting RTFM, because that's where the right
answers are to be found.
