I have my win32 build system on github:

https://github.com/jcupitt/build-win32

It's a few simple scripts plus jhbuild. You can do nice things like
automatic nightlies from git master wrapped up as setup.exe, it's very
easy really. There's a long README.

Similar thing for OS X here:

https://github.com/jcupitt/build-osx

Again, automatically builds a .dmg containing a .app from source.
