tramp-loaddefs.el is generated by Tramp itself. If you call

# autoconf; ./configure

you shall have an initial version of that file. When one of the autoload
cookies in tramp*.el is changed, this file must be regenerated. This is
done automatically by make.

Btw, the recent Emacs 23.2 for Windows, including binaries, is available
at <http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/windows/>. Pretest of Emacs 23.3
starts next weekend, it will be released end of this / beginning of next
year.

If you are courageous, you could also try a snapshot of Emacs 24.0.50,
published regularly at <http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/>.
