You do realize that whoever builds Emacs on Windows actually does that on a Windows machine, right? So running on such a system a Unix shell script that needs a matching ncftp installation, and also gnupg with keys, is not something which will work without setup and tinkering. What I meant by "easy" is how I upload packages to sourceforge: just point to the file and click a button. Why cannot GNU ftp site be this easy? So it's not trivial for me. Volunteers are welcome, of course.
