Then I shall disable the code that produces it for Emacs-28. I will
leave the code and the "-x86_64-" names in place, I think, just in case
we get any complaints from Windows 7/10 32-bit users. Then, that can go
for Emacs-29, so binaries will become simply "emacs-29.1.zip" or
"emacs-29.1-installer.exe".
Assuming that this smaller DLL only distribution tests once I start
producing snapshots, I will also remove the "-no-deps" zip from
Emacs-28. At this point, I no longer need the independent copies of the
dependencies, so they can go as well. That will reduce the total number
of files for releases from 8 binary + 1 source (for the deps), to 2
binary + 1 source.
