Hi,
7.0 is really old. We do not support it anymore.

I am not a Windows expert myself, but with cmake and mingw (+make) it is easy to build it. Cygwin probably works as well.
You can find mingw related things here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/
GCC:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/gcc/Version4/
There are some installers there, I have never tried them. I just downloaded the usual components (binutils, libc, etc.) until the the compiler is finally able to compile a hello world.
make utility is also important:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS/Base/
CMake is available here:
http://www.cmake.org/
Download it as well.
This command configures PCRE from its root directory if everything is available in the PATH:
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" . -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING=-Wl,--stack,16777216 -DPCRE_BUILD_PCRE16=ON -DPCRE_BUILD_PCRE8=ON -DPCRE_SUPPORT_JIT=ON -DPCRE_SUPPORT_UNICODE_PROPERTIES=ON
And a simple "make" command builds it.
Testing: make test
Detailed build process: make VERBOSE=1

Zoltan
