It so much easier to maintain single build system with only little varianty for platforms. Most likely that single build sysmte doesn't require much platform depend changes after begin. Anyway 2nd build system will have problems to keep up with changes because only few people are going to update that. I think that official note that dps build system is to be removed from future versions of php could help windows development more than keeping it half updated around there. At least mozilla has been successful with single build system for all platforms. I agree that it makes problems for some windows developers because they need to go to command line which suxs in windows. I usually use cygwin as my command line replacement in windows because it offers so much more flexibility and features.
