As a manual binary blob update for windows - YES, that is great.
Then you could update the blob in the repo!

But I would not like to do this at build time,
i.e. injecting untested binary blobs.

So .. as a ant recipe for manual use, test and git commit - cool.
A good remedy until we know how to do it right on Windows.
I agree, the aim for JogAmp JOAL native builds is to only ship binary’s what we can produce our-self using free software tool-chains when possible.

For the record, newdawnsoftware who maintaints the LWJGL build farm build their openal-soft natives using the microsoft visual studio 9 compiler.
