With the help of Pierre in the #php-dev-win IRC channel (on 
freenode.net), I used the 'Quick n dirty' steps listed here 
http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild and then here were 
the rest of my steps:

**********
Adding PECL extensions (using 'dbase' as an example):

   - cd C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86
   - get the dbase extension code through Subversion
   - svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/dbase/trunk pecl/dbase
   - cd php5.3-xyz
   - buildconf
   - executing 'configure --help' should now contain a dbase option
   - configure --enable-cli --enable-dbase
   - nmake
   - test the binary with a 'php -m' command, to make sure dbase exists
**********

Hopefully this helps someone else in the future!
