In reply to my own post: the second package I tested with is runkit. 
Unfortunately, version 0.9 (the last available on pecl.php.net) does not 
compile with php 5.2.3+ because of a change in  
zend_unmangle_property_name. This has been fixed in cvs 
(runkit_import.c, on date 26/10/06), but not in any official release.

I am starting to think my approach is fundamentally flawed, if most 
extensions will only build on windows when pulled from cvs there is no 
usage in trying to compile older releases (and without having even taken 
into account the double-life of packages living in both pecl and core)...
