And some other changes like this on the build-improvements branch
(ChangeLog files, at least one I think) would be a good idea. I read in
its README (TODO):

* Reorganize the makefile pamphlets so that Axiom can build without
  LaTeX or X11.

This (the X11 issue) is exactly what is needed to "merge" Axiom for
Windows and the main branch (i.e. drop the Windows branch). Some other
_small_ changes will eventually be needed.
