All USE_SYSTEM* flags were used only to prevent inclusion of source 
files guarded with "ifndef USE_SYSTEM_*" (e.g. gconf_fp.c). None of 
these libraries are actually installed/used on windows build boxes.

And you are right,  USE_SYSTEM_GTK, USE_SYSTEM_CUPS and 
USE_SYSTEM_FONTCONFIG are not actually needed, because those makefiles 
are not included in windows builds.

USE_SYSTEM_GCONF and USE_SYSTEM_GIO are needed though, they are used in 
make/java/net/Makefile and make/java/net/FILES_c.gmk .
