Hi

Just wanted to hear if there's anybody out there who's just working on
make.bat / make-x.bat.

If this isn't the case, I'd like to redo the "install Gnus under
Windows" stuff from scratch since

1) It's bad that there are two different files to keep up-to-date, one
   generic file would be better
2) Neither make.bat nor make-x.bat generate info files for PGG and
   Sieve but they trie to copy them to Emacs info dir
3) Neither make.bat nor make-x.bat install the Smilies and Tool-Bar
   buttons
4) make.bat assumes that makeinfo is installed and doesn't fall back to
   infohack.el, make-x.bat uses infohack.el and doesn't use makeinfo
   even if it is available

If there are more problems with the current solution, please let me
know.

MFG Frank
