How about ``always''?  Except the very first time you get the files from 
CVS, I've yet to see a situation where the following doesn't work for me
each time I resync with the repository:

        make
        cd lisp
        make recompile EMACS=path-to-just-built-emacs.exe
        cd ..
        make install

It's fast, too, since only the modified files are recompiled.

Oh, and that's on a 450-MHz Celeron, not your 800-MHz screamer...
