Note: This is entirely work in progress and has not yet been successfully finished. Nevertheless hopefully the information on this page will serve as a starting point for anyone who find the time to take this further. After all, as many people still use Windows PCs as their every day computers, having a convenient way to re-flash a Neo from Windows would probably open up the user base.
The preferred order of installation is:
Here is step-by-step howto:
That should give you an Icon in your Start menu in MinGW->MSYS with the name of msys. Open that one, and you will find yourself in a bourne compatible shell on your native Windows system.
You can try to execute some commends such as gcc, make, etc. to make sure you installed everything correctly.
Your home directory in msys lives in the location where you installed MSYS in %MSYS_HOME%\home\%USERNAME. Check out the dfu-util sources there or copy them into that directory in case you checked them out somehwere else on your Windows filesystem.

Looks like we need newer versions of the autotools. There are .tar.bz2 packages with newer versions on SourceForge, but it looks as if you have to install them manually.
Even if the autotools will work and create a Makefile, any potential porting work is just about to start. There is a libusb port for Win32, but we don't know yet if the API will be compatible with the Linux version and what other problems might arise.
Stay tuned. Or even better: Help out!
