Any PECL extensions being released and Windows supported do fetch their deps from http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/deps/ Also I hardly beleave any of 44 extensions building with PHP7 would be fully worky (well, maybe except http which was recently ported). Regarding the builds point - there are builds being done on almost every commit available here for master http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/master/ as well as for the other branches of interest.
