...or increase the readability of the windows build manual:
http://no.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.building.php
Currently it does mention the option though: " A very useful configure
option to build snapshots is --enable-snapshot-build, which add a new
compiling mode (nmake build-snap). This tries to build every extension
available (as shared, by default), but it will ignore build errors in
individual extensions or SAPI. "

Given the amount of questions this list has been getting over the last
weeks about Windows building I would really appreciate if someone of
you Windows people could take a look at that manual page and improve
it.
