I thought we had an Easy Hack for that (a la "make a click through Wizard that
installs all build deps on Windows"), but all I found was:

 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32426

if not, "someone"(1) should recreate such a easy hack -- installing deps on
Windows is easier than it used to be, but far from being a painfree for a
newcomer.

Best,
