Did you see the page about building Emacs on w32 here: http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/w32-build-emacs.html Do you have some comments about that page? Maybe your list is a good summary for some things there? With the Emacs+EmacsW32 distro comes some of the GnuWin32 utilities. Do you have any opinion about what to include there?
