I'd suggest you go to http://www.crasseux.com/emacs/ and get the CVS
Emacs he compiled for Windows, as this gives you support for images
which 21.3 under Windows still lacks. Then get the Gnus Tarball,
extract it, call make.bat with the appropriate parameters and you
should be done. Oh, you probably want to set $HOME, this can be done
under Section System of the Windows Control Panel.
