I find Emacs most useful with auxiliary GNU tools like grep, find and
some compression tools.  I also sometimes use images.  So, I install the
packages for these things on MS Windows.  README.W32 recommends using
the Ezwinports builds of these tools.  Today I was installing those.
Each one of them is a separate zip file that creates a little unix-like
directory hierarchy with a "bin", "share", etc.  Dealing with those
directly would require a lot of PATH entries and
Info-default-directory-list entries.  Does anyone know if its possible
to install them all of them into the same hierarchy?

BR,
Robert Thorpe

Yes. Actually, they are designed to share the same hierarchy. And please
note that you need only the `bin' directory in PATH.

Indeed.  It's even mentioned in the README there.

Thanks.  I'll read more carefully in the future.

From my: http://sourceforge.net/u/gavenkoa/dot-emacs/ci/default/tree/INSTALL.rst

I used this mostly for extend Cygwin/Mingw man/info for own directory (c:\home\usr\share)

Setup MANPATH.
--------------

To use woman with on Windows set MANPATH like this (note that path in
Cygwin/MinGW style so you need use cygwin-mount.el)::

  MANPATH=:/cygdrive/d/home/usr/share/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man

for Cygwin or like this::

  MANPATH=/e/home/usr/share/man:/e/bin/MinGW/man:/e/bin/gnuwin32/man

for MinGW and other case.

To get man paths on Cygwin see <cygwin-root>\usr\share\misc\man.conf.

Also you can set woman-manpath variable.

Setup INFOPATH.
---------------

To browse info file inside Emacs set INFOPATH like this for Cygwin::

  INFOPATH=e:/opt/cygwin/usr/share/info;e:/home/usr/share/info;e:/bin/gnuwin32/info;e:/bin/gnuwin32/share/info:

and like this for MinGW::

  INFOPATH=e:/bin/gnutls/share/info;e:/bin/gnuwin32/info;e:/bin/gnuwin32/share/info;e:/bin/MinGW/info;e:/bin/MinGW/share/info;e:/bin/wget/info:

Note that last colon symbol is essential for include also Emacs info to list.

Thanks a lot, I did something very similar.
