The compile instructions for Windows in master branch are pretty accurate.
The instructions on how to build the installer are also pretty accurate,
they say which plugins for NSIS to install and even describe how to update
the dependencies (imagemagick, ghostscript...).
Anyone could really try it out. There are only 2 small changes in 2.3.x for
the installer (DTL executables and document icon), I can share a patch if
you would like.
