Outdated and should not be maintained as there are
many levels of complications.

The NOT RECOMMENDED note should suffice.

i have no plans to maintain these, as even things like sh
(from msys) and pkg-config from can cause problems.

 ------------------------------
 
 This is NOT RECOMMENDED. To the best of our knowledge there is one single
-person who regularly does this (and he provided these instructions). The
-Subsurface team does not provide support for Windows binary build from
-sources...
-
-1) Install msys-git:
-http://msysgit.github.io
-
-Tools part of MSYS are required for building Subsurface, while you also
-need Git to be upstream and contribute to the project.
-Make sure that the msys/bin (or git/bin) folder is in PATH.
-
-2) Install Qt
-http://qt-project.org/downloads
-
-Subsurface is currently built against Qt 4.8.5.
-
-3) Install a MinGW toolchain
-https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4D8x6CJEmtuczdiQklwMEs4RUU
-
-Qt 4.8.5 comes without a compiler and you will have to download it from
-a separate location. Other compiler may work, but there are no guaranties for
-that. Make sure that the mingw/bin folder is in PATH.
-
-4) Install Libdivecomputer
-Use similar steps to the previous section, without the sudo command.
-
-5) Install CMake (required for building Marble):
-http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
-
-Make sure that the cmake/bin folder is in PATH.
-
-5) Download and build Marble
-http://marble.kde.org/sources.php
-http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Marble/WindowsCompiling#Compiling_Marble_using_MingW
-
-Make sure you build both the Debug and Release versions.
-
-6) Install pkg-config
-http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/pkg-config_0.26-1_win32.zip
-
-pkg-config depends on DLL files such as libglib-2.0-0.dll and has to be in
-PATH, so it's best that you copy the executable to msys/bin.
-
-7) Install other dependencies
-Subsurface also depends on the following libraries:
-
-* libxml2
-http://www.xmlsoft.org/downloads.html
-* libxslt
-http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/
-* libusb-1.0
-http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/libusb-win32/wiki
-* zlib
-http://www.zlib.net/
-* libzip
-http://www.nih.at/libzip/
-
-Once you have the libraries, create .pc files (pkg-config) for them and place
-the files in a folder that is indicated by the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment
-variable - e.g. PKG_CONFIG_PATH=c:\msys\pkg-config
-
-To build subsurface, use:
-
-$ git clone git://subsurface-divelog.org/subsurface.git
-$ cd subsurface
-$ qmake
-$ make
-$ make install
-$ make installer
