I got the sources using Mercurial, including the buildtools folder, and notice that the Windows build instructions match this tree better than the one from the super tar ball. I still don't see why the tar ball's contents lack the buildtools folder, but now I'm making progress again :O)
Because the tarball has pre-generated build tools in there for at least UNIX-like platforms. Hence it is not necessary. I think we can safely conclude that windows building from the tarballs is not supported at the moment.
