you only need MingW and MSYS

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/MinGW%205.1.4/MinGW-5.1.4.exe/download
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/Current%20Release_%20MSYS-1.0.11/MSYS-1.0.11.exe/download

See

http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS

for installation instructions. You need to install the following 
components (can be selected during the MingW installation):

w32api=w32api-3.13-mingw32-dev.tar.gz
binutils=binutils-2.19.1-mingw32-bin.tar.gz
core=gcc-core-3.4.5-20060117-3.tar.gz
gpp=gcc-g++-3.4.5-20060117-3.tar.gz


After installation start MSYS, change to the luatex directory and modify 
the 'build.sh' file. I have attached my current version, where I'm still 
trying to optimize the cpu load; too many parallel makes are problematic 
here somehow (signals). Anyhow, the only necessary part is  
'LUATEXEXE=luatex.exe', otherwise no striping is possible. Just enter 
'./build.sh' (first try without --parallel) and cross the fingers...


Best wishes,  Peter
