I am not sure I understand the question 100%...

What I do is:
- fetch list of extensions from pecl.php.net, getting the html page of 
cvs.php.net/pecl4win/ and scanning it
- fetch the latest and greatest version of every extension from 
pecl.php.net (I get the ext html page first, scan it for versions, and 
download the last one available. The process might be extended to get 
older/all versions, but imho it makes little sense, especially since 
many packaged extensions do not compile as-is on win32 anyway. I 
separate state info from release number, but for now do not really take 
into account if it is beta or alpha)
- if file config.w32 is missing from the package, I get it (via http) 
from cvs
- compile all extensions downloaded and upload them to the db
- on next run, only newer packaged extensions are fetched, and the 
process repeated

The code is an evolution of the existing pecl4win codebase. It has been 
designed so that it can also download and compile stuff directly out of 
cvs, as the existing version does. I did not look at all at the 
snaps.php.net process/source.
