On the subject pointing people to precompiled MS Windows binaries of
useful GNU tools, one really easy way for users is to add C:\Program
Files\Git\usr\bin to their PATH (or wherever Git was installed). On MS
Windows, Git comes with quite a few of the most-common commands (I think
from MSYS2, actually), and I'd imagine that many Emacs users also have
Git installed.
I'm not sure this is worth putting in the FAQ, but I thought I'd mention
it just in case.
