We did talk; for example,
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-01/msg01025.html>.
I thought this was enough, but apparently I was mistaken.

I worry that this would mean that every time I want to make a
nontrivial change to a makefile, I would have to run the exact change
by you first. And, as you say, you don't have much free time, and can't be
expected to respond quickly; it might need to wait until the next weekend,
say. That wouldn't be a good recipe for development; it would slow things
down too much on the trunk.
If this turns into a continuing problem, perhaps it would be better to establish
a branch for Microsoft-related platforms, and to merge changes from the trunk
into that branch whenever you have time. People could then do Microsoft builds
from that branch.

Sorry, I don't get the connection. Tom can't put in his threading
related changes until Emacs builds on Microsoft platforms?
