I see that bugzilla comes up with five bugs in the 1.3.x series: http://tinyurl.com/7aghm
(Incidentally, http://bugzilla.lyx.org/buglist.cgi?target_milestone=1.3.6 comes up with only three bugs.)
I've managed to write a script to automate the process of producing a LyX/Win package. I describe below what it does; have I missed anything? (I propose not to package python, perl or a shell environment. Instead I think we should tell people to go and get their own.)
The script uses the MinGW/MinSYS environment and compiler.
It asks whether the Qt and LyX cvs trees are up to date.
(It's not easy to use TortoiseCVS from the command line.)
It asks whether the Qt library has been compiled.
(Qt/WinFree must be compiled from a cmd shell, not a
mingw console.)
It checks that qt-mt3.dll, libiconv-2.dll, mingw10.dll and
clean_dvi.py exist.
It compiles the dv2dt and dt2dv utilites.
It compiles and installs the Aspell library.
It compiles and installs LyX.
It copies the dv2dt and dt2dv utilites, the .dlls and
clean_dvi.py to the lyx package.
It modifies the Resources/lyx/configure script to
ensure that the generated .dvi file is usable.Finally, it strips the executables and zips the entire contents into a .zip archive (8.8MB). Unzipping it will produce a directory LyX that can be installed as the user chooses.
I've been using this package installed at C:\Program Files\LyX without any problems. Moreover, the mods described above to integrate the clean_dvi.py script mean that I can produce usable .dvi and .ps files. (I could already produce pdf files with pdflatex.)
Are we getting to the stage where we could shove a pre-release on the wiki and ask some hardy souls to try it out?

# This script aims to do averything necessary to automate the building
# of a LyX/Win package.
# Notes:
# It uses the MinGW/MinSYS environment and compiler.
# It asks whether the Qt and LyX cvs trees are up to date.
# It asks whether the Qt library has been compiled.
# It checks that qt-mt3.dll, libiconv-2.dll,
# mingw10.dll and clean_dvi.py exist.
# It compiles the dv2dt and dt2dv utilites.
# It compiles and installs the Aspell library.
# It compiles and installs LyX.
# It copies the dv2dt and dt2dv utilites, the .dlls and
# clean_dvi.py to the lyx package.
# It modifies the Resources/lyx/configure script to
# ensure that the generated .dvi file is usable.
# Finally, it strips the executables and zips the
# entire contents into an archive.
# Unzipping it will produce a directory LyX that can
# be installed as the user chooses.
# The script compiles the .dll version of the Qt libraries. Linking of lyx
# against this will, therefore, take "some time".
# It compiles the static version of the Aspell libraries because no
# .dll version exists.
