We have one, more or less. The last CVS I built from a
not-terrifically-clean checkout (about a week ago) did include a
symbol conflict when loading the mathview plugin, but I suspect that's
just a weird Windowsism with that particular checkout. As for NSIS
support, I have sent uwog the patch (via blueant) to add it to our
scripts - it worked for me successfully and once he reviews it (since
he had done some NSIS stuff, I thought this the best and easiest course
of action), anybody should be able to follow my (preliminary but
complete) instructions to build at http://www.abisource.com/~rp/ or
http://www.abisource.com/~rp/index.abw for the nicely-formatted
original.

The video card in my main system failed and is on RMA - it should be
replaced within a few days. When it comes back I will be ready to
build 2.3.5. If anybody knows a nice way to run Windows headlessly (as
in, no video card even) and remotely, you can get it sooner. Since
it's PCI-Express, I have no spare to swap in.

Hope this helps (and explains my late response - my mailing lists are
combined with bugzilla spam in a 20-email-at-a-time webmail that
strongly disincentivizes staying up to date).
