I'm unable to build with msys or cygwin on Windows.
As a work around, an ffmpeg patch is available in chromium that allows ffmpeg 
to output webp

I've managed to build with msys.  The trick was to use CXX= to force gcc
CXX=mingw32-g++ CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure

We are not planning to provide exe file for windows. The new version 0.0.3 
should compile in windows with cygwin or msys. For cygwin the installation 
instruction is given in the main website (http://code.google.com/speed/webp/). 
For msys you may not have libpthread by default. Here is one way (hack) to get 
that.

Download the pthreads-win32 tar ball from http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/ 
and untar it. Then run 
a. make
b. cp libpthreadGC2.a /mingw/lib/libpthread.a (Renaming the library. HACK).

Users that want to use the webpconv tool, would just like a binary.  Preferably 
an installer for Windows, but definitely not source.
A binary is provided for Linux.  Could you upload binaries for Windows?
