Thank you for you work. A few comments on the documentation:

What's going to happen if I disregard this recommendation? Will build
fail? I've taken a habit of running Emacs from the trunk\bin directory
on Windows, I just add it to PATH. Will that stop working?

How am I supposed to do that? MinGW-Get installer only allows me to
check or uncheck the whole "MSYS Base" category, not the individual
packages.

The MinGW-Get installer, at least, goes straight from selecting packages
to installing them. And it's the recommended download at the page you
link to (Looking for the latest version? Download
mingw-get-inst-20120426.exe).
