For builds that are straight out of svn the default name should be ok.
The problem is quality assurance: there are some known broken versions
of the mingw32 runtime, and the packages list is not enforced by the
build system.

How about automatic snapshot builds?  The main reason against it is
the darn source installer.  However, nobody says the source must come
in one package: We can just provide the gpg4win source tarball and the
individual packages used.  These can be cached and symlinked, as they
don't change often:

pool/bzip2-1.0.4-g10.tar.gz
...
svn929/bzip2-1.0.4-g10.tar.gz -> ../pool/bzip2-1.0.4-g10.tar.gz
...
svn929/gpg4win-1.9.8-svn929.exe
svn929/gpg4win-light-1.9.8-svn929.exe

Thanks,
