Attached is a simple proposal. The section about MinGW can be replaced
mostly by "use MSYS2". That's also what CI and the buildfarm uses.
Anyone who strays from that can figure it out themselves.

In the Visual Studio section, there was some text that recommended
getting flex and bison via MinGW, which seemed clearly outdated. I put
in the URL that the CI images use. I don't know if there are other
common sources, but that one seems good enough.
