As a (part time) Windows-user I'd very much appreciate this.
Like I've mentioned earlier on this mailing-list, I have some custom
scripts I use to manually assemble a new release when it's available,
but even then it's so much of a hastle that I can't always be bothered.
Having an installer which makes this a next-next-next process would
be a great
But I'm already on the train. Where this would clearly be most
benefitial is for new Windows/Emacs-users if they could get going in
the usual "next next next" Windows-fashion which they're already
accustomed to.
Feel free to publish some test-installers for the community to try out.
