I think Pierre would be the best person to build it, however, he seems 
inactive again, allthough you can send him an e-mail.

Please read the "Release engineering" page on the Wiki. You need to export
/tags/release_2_2_0 from the svnbuild repository, copy the 
documentation and libgdb into it then execute "make go32v2zip".

If everything goes well you get an installation program. That has to be 
tested, i.e. wether it installs correctly, basic programs can be compiled, 
etc.
