The automated Windows binary distribution build fails with the 24.0.90
Pretest because the `mingw32-make dist' target cannot find README.W32.
There is a comment in `make dist':
## Exclude README.W32 because it is specific to pre-built binaries(?).
I am not sure what this comment means, or why README.W32 would be
excluded from the tarball. README.W32 needs to be included in the
tarball for `mingw32-make dist' to work.

AIUI, README.W32 has information specific to the pre-built binaries
provided on ftp.gnu.org. Eg it starts:
This README file describes how to set up and run a precompiled
version of GNU Emacs for Windows. This distribution can be found on
the ftp.gnu.org server and its mirrors:
So it's inappropriate to include it in the source tarfile because it
contains information that is incorrect/irrelevant for people building
from source.

But you're saying that you want to start from a source tarfile and make
a binary tarfile? I don't know how to reconcile these two.

It used to be necessary to have a checkout of the admin directory to
build Windows binaries, as the scripts that built the tarballs/zip files
were also located in the admin directory. Now that the scripts have been
converted to makefile rules, the README.W32 file is the only required
file left there, so it might make more sense to move it to the nt
subdirectory now.

It seems this change was made over a year ago, but a few months later
make-dist was changed to explicitly exclude this file. The question mark
on the end of the comment seems to indicate that the author of the
change wasn't sure at the time if it was the right thing to do.

Please just move the file to `nt', and rework the first few sentences to
make it clear in which context it is meant to be used.

It was already moved to `nt' as part of the `dist' rule I added
(r100882). It just needs to be linked in `make-dist' to be included in
the source tarball.
I am not sure how to change README.W32 to reflect its use case though.

Here is a proposed change to make the intent of the README.W32 file
clearer if it comes in the Emacs sources distribution. The change to
make-dist includes the file again in the source tarball. The fact that
it does not right now is a major pain when trying to automate building
the distribution from a source tarball.

Suggest a minor rewording and reordering:
This README.W32 file describes how to set up and run a precompiled
distribution of GNU Emacs for Windows. You can find the precompiled
distribution on the ftp.gnu.org server and its mirrors:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/
Information on how to compile Emacs from sources on Windows is in
the files README and INSTALL in this directory. If you received
this file as part of the Emacs source distribution, please read
those 2 files and not this one.

For people building on GNU/Linux maybe, but since the Windows binary
distributions are built from the source tarball, it is very much
relevant (for some users).

Yes, start from a source tarfile and make a binary zipfile using the
`mingw32-make dist' target I wrote for Windows. (As a side note, I
probably should change the name of the target to `dist-w32' or
`bin-dist' to not confuse it with `make-dist'). The target is mainly
used by Sean to build the weekly builds and should also be used to
consistently build the Windows Emacs releases in an automated fashion
from the source tarballs.
