Duarte,

Our stable windows release located at http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/win32/1.5/ 
  provides a full complement of current plugins for ArcSDE and OCI  
(along with some others like MrSID and ECW).  I have found it quite  
taxing to keep up building plugins for both FWTools and our stable  
releases, and with the new OSGeo4W effort, I have focused my effort on  
these because they should work in OSGeo4W as well.

If you need to track GDAL trunk for a bug fix or new feature, I'm  
afraid you'll have to invest some effort in building your own plugins  
(or linking in what you need directly for even easier usage).
