Replying to myself.

Builds fixed now but for ApacheMonitor (corrupted resources, as I do
not need it now, it will have to wait).

You can fetch VC11-x86 builds here
http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/ostc/vc11_deps/ (apache dir,
x86 and x64 contains pre built dependencies for PHP, most of them can
or are used for PHP builds).

Question: is there any interest to move to makefiles only builds?
These dsw (and conversion) brings all kind of issues and are not very
flexible. I was thinking about something like what I did for curl:

https://github.com/bagder/curl/blob/master/winbuild/BUILD.WINDOWS.txt

Alternatively porting the php build script (autoconf-like system,
implemented in javascript, using cscript), it is very flexible and
allows exact match to what is done using the unix autoconf configure
options.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
