Every little bit helps, of course. Thanks, Lennart.

However, that's not the real solution. Pretest testers will (and should) look
for Windows binary pretests at the GNU location created for them:

http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/

That's the only purpose of that directory, as stated in the README.

And pretest binaries should correspond to the pretest source code exactly.
Otherwise, we can be comparing apples and oranges (which can mean confusion and
more work for everyone involved).

And `report-emacs-bug' should correctly address the pretest mailing list (that
didn't happen the last time you made a binary available informally for pretest
testing).

So yes, thank you - that will help. But whatever happened to the Windows builds
volunteered by Sean Sieger?
