I've made some changes to the Emacs windows build packaging. I've pushed
a new snapshot build to
https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/.

Comments are welcome (specifically on the packaging!).

Background:

As Michael has already noticed, I've updated Emacs-26 with the build
scripts that I am now using to make windows builds. This seemed like a
good idea to me; the process has evolved over the the Emacs-25 cycle but
this wasn't reflected in the Emacs repository. This seemed like a bad
idea, as there were a couple of packaging related bugs.

The new scripts automate both the build of the Emacs zip files
themselves and the "dependencies" binaries and source zip files. I've
added one new feature (already mentioned) which is the ability to build
a snapshot from an arbitrary branch.

Phil

Looks useful. Where are those scripts?

Thanks. Do I understand correctly that the result of this build
is expected to be the same as the result of the previous build,
and that the only difference is that you now use a different
build procedure (e.g., different scripts)?  IOW, should users
expect any difference in the resulting builds?

./admin/nt/dist-build

Currently only on the emacs-26 branch, though they should get
merged. They are quite opinionated about the build structure. And I
appear to have deleted the nice README that I wrote about them. Oh dear,
will redo tonight.

There weren't any scripts before, I just ran through the instructions in
an .org file. Surprised it too me so long to get irritated with this.

But, as it's a new release, I have also change the packaging somewhat,
both from Emacs-25, and also from Emacs-26.0.90. The "default" one
(i.e. one with the shortest name) now contains all the dependencies;
that is, you don't have to unzip the deps file over the top of an
installation for yourself. The "-no-deps" version is the same as the
Emacs-25 releases.

The new files are described in
admin/nt/dist-build/README-windows-binaries.
