My scripts build all the distribution scripts with a single command (not
a push-button, unless this includes the "enter" key). But they do assume
that you have msys and the rest installed. At heart, though, they just
run three commands (autogen.sh;configure;make install).

I am debating with my installer whether to allow multiple versions or do
the more normal windows things of one version. I suspect the latter is
more sensible because, well, it's the normal windows thing.

Other than what we have, this isn't really on my radar. Building emacs
from source is now as easy as I need it to be.
