I'm working on a similar, and hopefully even more 
easy-to-follow-for-newbies, Freeciv compiling on Windows using Eclipse 
3.0 guide. I've posted the preliminary info on my website: 
http://caveserv.homelinux.net/geeklog/html/article.php?story=20040722074532161 

I'll be adding a few pictures and much more detail in regards to setting 
up MingW and MSys within a few days.
