I gave this a try, but I don't want to install msys and its packaging system, so I have to give it a miss, I'm afraid.

I have perl installed, so, technically, I can try. Or the script itself depends on msys?

Hi, @tusooaw!
I have tried building with your script, but it didn't work in the end :(
It has built everything fine, but Krita didn't start because platform plugins could not be found. I guess it happened because I put the dependencies into a different folder, not into the one used on Jenkins... Then I tried to find-replace the paths in the deps files and corrupted .dll files, so I gave up with further attempts :)
