Hi everyone,
I spent some time building Mesa/llvmpipe on Windows and created a Python
script
that implements all the required steps (downloading/extracting all
prerequisites and sources,
configuring and building LLVM and Mesa).
The script is available at:

Given you're building for MSVC, you could avoid MinGW by using
http://winflexbison.sourceforge.net/ .
BTW, I've been playing with AppVeyor for building Mesa builds with MSVC.
You can see the builds log
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jrfonseca/mesa
It doesn't build everything -- it uses pre-compiled LLVM binaries --,
and it also leverages a lot of software that is pre-installed int
AppVeyor build images.

Didn't know about unlicense.org . Interesting. A bit off-topic, but I
actually have been considering public domain for future personal pet
projects, because when

P.S. Is there any reason why there are no prebuilt Mesa opengl32.dll
files available on the web? I considered putting a current dll onto
Github as well, are there any reasons why I should not do that?
No particular reason other than nobody could be bothered. Mesa doesn't
ship compiled binaries for any OS, not just Windows.
Personally I don't the time to prepare binaries. If this ever was to
happen it would have to be fully automated via something like AppVeyor
(MSVC) or Travis-Ci (mingw cross-compilers).
I also worry about people just downloading opengl32.dll, without
understanding what they are doing, running into all sort of troubles,
and flooding with bug reports / support requests.
