A place to stuff things related to building Emacs for Windows, particular stuff related to creating and testing the self-installer (because that needs a lot of work, not because lots of work in that area exists to put here, as I am creating this).

Programs

build-readme - describe files created while building Emacs

Cryptographically sign the (self-)executable and (other) zip-files, SHA256 sum and list everything, then clearsign that. Build a "Fancy Inded" using Apache2 .htaccess semantics as a "byproduct", including that and script(s) used in the "publication bundle". Here, a publication bundle is the directory of starting files to publish, represented by the files current working directory when the script is run, plus those created by this program.
