For people building on GNU/Linux maybe, but since the Windows binary
distributions are built from the source tarball, it is very much
relevant (for some users).

Yes, start from a source tarfile and make a binary zipfile using the
`mingw32-make dist' target I wrote for Windows. (As a side note, I
probably should change the name of the target to `dist-w32' or
`bin-dist' to not confuse it with `make-dist'). The target is mainly
used by Sean to build the weekly builds and should also be used to
consistently build the Windows Emacs releases in an automated fashion
from the source tarballs.
