Even building packages from scratch is not hard at all in principle (you only need to download the build recipe and run "makepkg-mingw -s" from an MSYS shell in the directory containing the recipe, see [1] for details).
Well, thank you! I've taken a quick look and it seems straightforward. I'll probably give it a try as soon as I have some time.

If there are testers around who have an actual interest in running a pre-release on Windows XP (beyond checking if it runs - I do that myself in a virtual machine) I can publish one of my local builds, though (just let me know...).
If specific XP testing is useful, I can work with your local build on my normal activities (technical drawings): my usage is rather limited considering all Inskcape's capabilities, so not really a throughout test. Otherwise I don't mind waiting the final release.
