All of the files needed to build the windows binaries are in the main
repository, specifically in admin/nt/dist-build.

I use a few other launch scripts which the python or shell script. This
is just so that I could build release or snapshot builds from the same
git checkout (or rather multiple worktrees of the same git repo) with
ease.

After that, you need a windows box, with a particular directory
structure. This is documented here:

admin/nt/dist-build/README-scripts

but it's a bit baroque and may not be completely accurate as I am
probably the only person to have run this stuff since Emacs-25.
