Welcome to test Emacs Setup Utilities for MS Windows

Welcome to test Emacs Setup Utilities for MS Windows

[Lennart Borgman]

I have long been trying to write an installer for Emacs on MS Windows. I
believe now that I have something that is reasonable to test. It should work
with both current Emacs and CVS Emacs.

There have been some requests to make the installer able to build Emacs from
CVS repository. I have not included that, but I have instead written a guide
for how to build Emacs from CVS. There is also a tool to check the setup for
building Emacs. (You may think that it is unnecessary with such a guide, but
I have not yet seen instructions that are entirely correct.)

Go to http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/WThirtyTwoInstallationKit to get
more info.

Re: Welcome to test Emacs Setup Utilities for MS Windows - close to release

[Lennart Borgman]

After some feedback I and testing I think that the current version should be
very close to the release version. However for good quality please try to
test it. Suggestions for additions are still welcome.
