Unless I misunderstand what you mean, such an _exact_ explanation is going to be VERY long, because we will need to explain how to install GCC/Binutils, and any other tools that are needed, including what to download, how to unpack, what environment variables to set, how to avoid conflicts with other packages, how to do that on the several supported variants of Windows, etc. Take a look at Lennart's site, for example, I believe he tried to do just that. I think it's beyond the scope of nt/INSTALL to include such stuff. Of course, volunteers are welcome to try to come up with something reasonable and send it. A more realistic goal might be a list of environments that are known to work for building Emacs, and auxiliary tools to be installed with each environment.
