On http://windows.php.net/snapshots/ we provide development packages
which allow a phpize-configure-nmake workflow similar to the Unix system
without building the whole of PHP. Last time I tried this worked nicely.
I do not know why that is not done for releases, too. (also follow the
link there to http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/ ... not sure why
the website has outdated versions ...)

And another comparison to the Unix system: we have snaps.php.net which
distributes pregenerated parsers for "normal" users and git for people
who know what they do and have bison. Also sources from
php.net/downloads.php have pregenerated parsers.

There I can't help. I currently don't own a Windows license I could use
for that.
