I'm happy (this is a relative term when Windoze is involved) to create the = builds. I have a virtual Windows image that I use for testing. Can somebody= please point me at the exact instructions that I need to follow? Most of m= y computing experience is with GNU/Linux, so knowing exactly how to set up = the build environment would be useful, although I can fumble my way to gett= ing the GNU chain installed, I'm sure. Incidentally, http://www.appveyor.com/ can be used in continuous integratio= n for testing on Windows. I use it in my free software projects and its a r= eal time saver. If GNU Emacs was hosted on github it would be possible to t= rigger a Windows test on every push to master (this might be possible as a = mirror). I use a combination of appveyor and a self-hosted https://github.c= om/drone/drone/ to test, build and deploy our continual delivery releases f= or all major platforms. So, ideally, I'd like to get the GNU Emacs windows builds running off an ap= pveyor script so it should work with the click of a button.
