Thats because a.) you are missing Python's XML::Parser thingy, or more
likely b.) you need an updated version of python to get past that (this is
a problem we get hit with when building on linux as well).

I wonder if jhbuild is useful at all on win32, I suppose it's
worth trying to build using jhbuild since that will automatically
fetch the right version of everything at least to build the
basic gnome libraries from git...

Ok I'll try to build one for you later on, I'll post it somewhere online
and mail you privately and then delete it (I wanna be sure that
software doesnt escape without being released... currently
I'm holding it prisoner ;-)).
