PHP4 is dead, any second spent on building it on windows is a wasted second :)

That would not be very useful. Nobody uses them and they are outdated.
The normal and supported way is the cscript + nmake, which works for
all VS (we are working on supporting 2k5/8 these days, incl. the
deps).

As Bjori pointed out, there is also updated information in the wiki,
please consider to read it.

Cheers,
