Thank you for you work.

What's going to happen if I disregard this recommendation? Will build fail? I've taken a habit of running Emacs from the trunk\bin directory on Windows, I just add it to PATH.

The MinGW-Get installer, at least, goes straight from selecting packages to installing them. And it's the recommended download at the page you link to (Looking for the latest version? Download mingw-get-inst-20120426.exe).
