That is not up-to-date as current master stopped building with the dependencies
of the current OSGeo4W.  3.16 and 3.18 still do, but master doesn't.

You can switch to dependencies from osgeo4w testing[0], that has the required more
up-to-date dependencies.  You also need to switch the MSVC 2019 compiler.

The build recipes for osgeo4w testing are in [1].

Unfortunately I didn't yet get the git workflows builds[2] (or some
alternative) to fly (runs out of space even w/o caches and takes ages to do
so), so it's still done locally and documentation waits for a final path to
materialize.

What's in osgeo4w testing now is built locally from a cygwin env.
