I downloaded this to give a shot (thank's Andrew) and when I
used WinZip on it I recieved this virus warning:

  The file e:\emacs\emacs-21.1\bin\emacs.exe is infected with
  W95/Coke.22231 Virus.  Unable to clean the file using the current Scan
  engine version 4.0.50 DAT version 4.0.4168.(from ABSOLUT IP
  10.129.101.19 user BRILLIANT\howard running NetShield 2000 4.5 OAS)

I vaguely remember something about a bogus virus warning
with some version of Emacs some time ago, is this that?  Or
could this binary be infected?  My virus datafile is
up-to-date but my virus checker is a bit old and certainly a
bit flakey.  Has anyone else seen this?
