It's up to the person who volunteers for the job. It's quite okay to
upload only the Emacs binary that was compiled with support for the
optional libraries, and expect the end users to download and itsall
the DLLs separately. It is also okay to upload the DLLs as part of
the binary distro, but then the corresponding sources should be on the
same site.

It's a general problem with cross-compiling Emacs, yes.
