(This is just a cut&paste from the BUILDING.txt file in the source tree)

1. Download and install the Windows Driver Framework SDK (6001 is all
that is supported now) from Microsoft. You have to jump through a few
hoops to get it, but it is free (as in beer of course. Microsoft don't
do the 'as in speech' variety of free). It's also huge.
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/wdf/default.mspx is a good place
to start.
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/DevTools/WDK/WDKpkg.mspx is probably a
better place to start.

2. Download and install the Nullsoft Installer from
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/

3. Use Mercurial (get it from
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/BinaryPackages) to get
the latest sources from
http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/win-pvdrivers.hg.

4. From the top directory, type 'makedist', which will build the drivers
for all architectures. If the build fails, then you probably don't have
exactly the 6001.17121 that i'm using. Edit set_ddk_path.bat and do a
'makedist' again.

5. Assuming all went well, your drivers should be in target/<os>/<arch>
directory. (<os> is winxp, winnet and winlh, arch is i386 and
amd64). "Xen PV Drivers <version>.exe" should also be created which is
the nsis installer.

See the INSTALLING.txt file for information on how to install.
