So I reiterate my offer: if someone makes the space available (in
alpha.gnu.org or in some other FTP site, preferably with HTTP download
access), I can upload, with a weekly-or-better frequency, a binary
build of Emacs for Windows, with the following characteristics:

  - .zip or .tar.gz, as preferred
  - built with a recent MinGW environment (I'm currently using GCC 3.4.5)
  - built with "make realclean bootstrap install"
  - from a bare bones checkout of CVS HEAD (no custom mods, and no
additional .el packages, not even gnuserv.el)
  - with image support for all supported image types (on Windows,
i.e., does not include Ghostscript)
  - no additional binaries: no image libraries DLLs (available on the
GnuWin32 Project page), no gnuclient*.exe, etc.
 - includes info files
 - in-place installation, so it includes the full sources

Currently I'm using an optimized, non-debug build, so I would remove
the .o files (or, to be precise, the full oo-spd/ directories); but if
a debug build is preferred, they could be included on the .zip; as a
datapoint, today's .zip with .o files is about 51.3 MiB, without is
44.6 MiB).
