Thanks for building this. I downloaded the build and noticed that two 
files from the bin directory were missing:

digest-doc.exe
sorted-doc.exe

These are present in the build from 1-17-2011.

Any idea why these are missing?

Nope.

I can only say that "make install" does install these two programs in
the `bin' directory.  So it's probably some problem with preparing the
zip files.

I just tried a make dist and the zip file does not contain those two 
files. I will look at this tomorrow.

It's strange that the last weekly build contained them, though.

Sean, are you using make dist to create the snapshots?

Due to changes in Rmail?

Not when I did `make install' just now.

Christoph, thanks for asking.  We had a similar conversation last summer
when `make dist' wasn't present in emacs-23, but instead I used  the older,
`makedist' that I copied from a version before the changes that became
make dist.  (I hope I am making sense here.)

I have continued to use makedist for emacs-23, but use make dist for the
weekly builds.

Another lacuna is the README.W32 in the pretest.  Um, I haven't had a
chance to check for it ... hold on ... yep:

1) the `makedist' command that I use to build the pretest distribution is
    looking for `README.W32'  which isn't there anymore but instead is
    in /nt as `README'.

2) regarding `make dist' in the pretest:

     c:\Users\Sean\Downloads\emacs-23.2.93\nt>make dist
     make: *** No rule to make target `dist'.  Stop.

3) the question I should have asked eight months ago, can your fine
    changes be merged into emacs-23? (Ya know what I'm saying?  I
    enjoy using make dist, thank you.)

I hope my observations make sense and help.

You mean, you type "make install" in the nt/ subdirectory, and these
two programs don't get copied into the bin/ subdirectory of
INSTALL_DIR?

Shoot.  Sorry, Eli.  I type make install, and digest-doc and sorted-doc
_do_ get copied there.

I think that I got confused going back and forth between emacs-24 and
-23.

Probably.  These programs were deleted from the trunk, so they are
indeed not installed there.
