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.

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is obsolete, since now this file is placed under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.
