I only build using VC9 x86 nts for V5.3.7-dev, though I think adding 5.3.6 shouldn't be too difficult. I have all the dependency libs upto the wiki server crash, so I should be able to build a lot of the extensions. If you can tell me what extensions/versions/builds you want, then, within reason, I can try and supply the compiled DLLs.
