I now want some advice of where to put the sources. I do not know if it could be put on Savannah. The installer comes in two flavors: 1) Without Emacs itself. In this case for example emacs-21.3-fullbin-i386.tag.gz have to be downloaded separately. The installer tells where this can be found and unpacks it. The unpacking is done with 7za.exe from 7-zip (which I got Ivan Pavlovs permission to use for this). 2) A more normal installer including Emacs itself. Those two versions are buildt from the same sources. 7-zip is free software (GNU LPGL, it is on SourceForge.net). The build process uses Inno Setup, Emacs and cmd.exe. I intend to include 7za.exe in both versions since it could for example be used to install elisp docs. This part is not yet written and I wonder if there are any elisp modules for that (probably using GNU/Linux or unix tools) that could be rewritten for MS Windows to use 7za.exe for the unpacking. - Lennart
