I think, rather, that the instructions assume anyone setting up a development environment would be the type to understand such instructions.
If anything, this is wise. It ensures anyone keeping 2.x alive on XP is knowledgeable enough that *issues* will not blindside them. If it was as easy as say running an installer, all the riffraff would do it, and Kovid would get a million bug reports that "calibre 2.x on XP just ate my library!!!"
