This snipped from the file nt/README.W32:
-------------------------
* Preliminaries
Along with this file should be four subdirectories (bin, libexec,
share, and var).
-------------------------
is obsolete, since now this file is placed under
'share/emacs/VERSION/' on the binary distribution.
So, it should be either reworded or removed.
In GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (i686-pc-mingw32)
of 2014-10-20 on LEG570
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 6.3.9600
Important settings:

Ok. (I didn't describe them because I wouldn't know how, especially
with "share" and "var").

Ok. (I changed "zip" with "package" to make it more neutral wrt the
compression format)
Committed & closing this bug.
