I put up a new readme on my webpage with the binary installers.
I also put all the library and include files from the required external libs up.

This is the changed part of the readme:
"For developers:
In built-2.6cvs you will find tarfiles from all the built sources, These 
include  all the lib.a files, include files, object files , dlls and
executables as a result of the complete built sources.
So if any dll or other file is missing in this installer you can find it there
You also need these if you start developing your own C or C++ code and don't 
want to built gnuradio and all required libs from source yourself.

In source you will find the sources which where used to built these files.

In required-for-build-from-source you will find the binaries from the tools and 
libraries I used to build gnuradio and usrp (all needed dlls,
executables, libraries (libXXX.a) and  include header files should be in the 
tarballs.)

You can use these if you want to build gnuradio or usrp yourself using msys and 
mingw.
You might also need these if you build your own C or C++ files using the 
gnuradio and/or usrp libraries.

A more save method is building all these libraries yourself. Esppecially 
cppunit is picky when it comes to mixing different gcc versions.

bin/build_all_windows_installers_cvs.sh is the top script which is used to 
build the installers from the built sources.

There are some hardcoded paths in there so you may have to change these for 
your setup.
You also need to have innosetup installed if you want to built everything.
When the main script launches innosetup you just need to command it to do the 
compile and close it.
After that the built script will continue
(The script will do this twice)"

At some point in time I might make a package which you can install over 
msys/mingw to get all required files for developing with gnuradio and
the usrp, but don't expect it very soon.

If anybody finds out bugs, or tricks in using and developing with usrp/gnuradio 
on windows, please let me know (using this mailinglist)
Also feel free to add and improve on the gnuradio on windows/ming WIKI.

Some background information on my build-process:
I used mingw/MSYS to build on windows.
To build everything I installed
mingw/MSYS
python-2.4.1.msi, wxPython2.6-win32-ansi-2.6.0.0-py24.exe
and python numeric

Then I build and installed all the required libraries.
then I build gnuradio-core, usrp,gr-usrp,gr-wxgui, gr-audio-windows.
then I build the binary installers for all python-related parts
Then I build the main installer using innosetup.

See the build scripts for the binary installers at:
http://www.olifantasia.com/projects/gnuradio/mdvh/mingw/binary-installer/gnuradio-with-usrp/source-2.6cvs/bin/
