It's intended only for the internal use by the build server, to be used 
by qTox, uTox, etc. build jobs, but if it works for you then nothing 
says you can't use it.
libtoxcore-toktok_build_windows* is likely what you want, not 
libtoxcore_build_windows*.

As I said before, the easiest way to build toxcore is to use a Linux 
virtual machine and following these instructions 
https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore/blob/master/INSTALL.md#windows.
It is possible to build it on Windows without using a Linux VM, I heard 
some other developers are doing that, but we don't have any instructions 
documented for that and I never done that myself.
