Isn't there a newer version of this that also mentions precompiled binaries for Emacs 22, the beta test version? I tried browsing the web page repositories at http://savannah.gnu.org/project/memberlist.php?group=emacs but I found nothing about Emacs 22 there. Is not that strange? For information about precompiled binaries on MS Windows there is however information on EmacsWiki: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/CategoryWThirtyTwo
