Thanks, but I'm not sure it is appropriate to describe in README.W32 programs that are not specific to the w32 build, such as etags, ebrowse, hexl, movemail, etc. If these should be documented (hexl and movemail are internal to Emacs, for example, and are not supposed to be run directly by the user), it should be done in a file that isn't specific to Windows. How about adding a special README.something file that would describe all these auxiliary programs, including those specific to Windows, and be installed by "make install"?
