If I understand correctly (I'm not a windows user or developer myself), knowing the bits necessary to compile extension modules is not something very many people need to know.  If an extension module supports Windows, there will generally be an installer package containing the binaries available.  If there isn't, chances are the extension module doesn't support Windows.

That said, improvements in the documentation is rarely a bad idea ;)
