Lennart Borgman <address@hidden> described the package as follows:

Other License: 
Package: Emacs Setup Utilities for MS Windows
System name: emacssuw32
Type: non-GNU

Description:
An installation and setup program for Emacs on MS Windows. I have no URL to the 
source code but can send it to you (about 500kB zipped with 7-zip). The 
installation and setup program should be created in two versions, one that 
includes the binary distribution of Emacs for MS Windows and one that requires 
the user to download it. The installation and setup program should be possible 
to rebuild from both distributions. It should also be distributed as just 
source code as a zip file.

Naturally this installation and setup program for Emacs can only run on MS 
Windows. However I do believe that it will promote the use of Emacs and hope it 
can fit your requirements.

The base for this program is ready, but I plan to develop it further to make 
Emacs even easier to use on MS Windows.

Other Software Required:
This is meant for MS Windows.

The compiled program does not have any external dependencies except that it 
requires a file from 7-zip (7za.exe). This file is included with the permission 
of the author of 7-zip.

Building the program requires Inno Setup.

Both 7-zip and Innow Setup are free software. They are found at

* Inno Setup at Jordan Russels web site http://www.jrsoftware.org/.
* 7-zip by Ivan Pavlov at http://www.7-zip.org/.


Other Comments:
There have been interest on emacs developers list for an installation program 
for MS Windows. I think they want it.
