Great. Thanks. Looks like the file is actually called buildtool.cpp and the command to make it is in the comment at the top of the file: g++ -O3 buildtool.cpp -o btool.exe
Would be nice if this was mentioned in the README after the blanket (false for Win32) statement that "Inkscape uses the standard procedure for compilation and installation".

This page http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32_inkscape_org/win32buildnotes.html says that to build Inkscape for win32 I should compile with: make -f Makefile.mingw
This file doesn't exist in the fresh checkout I made from SVN less than an hour ago. (Except for in some seemingly minor subdirs: F:\usr\pkg\inkscape\head>find . -name Makefile.mingw .\src\dom\Makefile.mingw .\src\pedro\Makefile.mingw
Is there some way I can generate it, or someplace I can download it?
The *.mingw files are not being used anymore. For win32, the buildtool is used. Compile it with `gcc -o btool.exe btool.cpp` (or something like that) and just run it there. It relies on the configuration found in build.xml, tweak it to your needs.
Bob or someone else could give your a more in-depth answer. I hope you find this information useful for the time being.
