Not at all sure how to  do that... And we still need to upload the
install files to the CVS, unless you did it without telling me. (BTW,
did you give me write access to the installer subdirectory of the CVS
repo?)

Also, my installer scripts currently assume they are running from the
same directory that houses clisp. If you want to be able to
automatically build them from win32msvc, then I'll need to make some
changes.

Agreed. But I'm not really sure how to do that. RTF is a human
readable format, so it is at least theoretically possible. If you
didn't mind the uneven lines, it would probably be possible to fix the
other problems without too much trouble... just add a little rtf
header, replace all new lines with the appropriate code ("\par"?),
remove the emacs encoding line, and fix the unicode in names.
