BTW, there are other ".bat" files besides 'nt/zipdist.bat'.  I wonder
whether the are still needed:

---------------------------
$ find . -name '*.bat'
./admin/nt/dump.bat
./config.bat
./msdos/depfiles.bat
./nt/configure.bat
./nt/ftime-nostartup.bat
./nt/ftime.bat
./nt/zipdist.bat
---------------------------
