message:
Merge from emacs--rel--22
But exactly same changes applied to nt/README.w32.
ediff on nt/README.w32 and nt/README show that
nt/README is mostly subset of nt/README.w32.
So why nt/README still alive?
I confused what to read and my little detective search told me
that nt/README useless as duplicate and have no any other info
then in nt/README.w32.
I suggest remove this file (and move any missing to
nt/README.w32) to follow SPOT rule.

They are each needed in slightly different situation. README.W32 is
not present in the release tarball, it's placed on the FTP site near
the tarballs and zip files.

As long as they don't contradict, there's no harm in having both.
