Thanks for doing this.

After testing it in the trunk I remembered: one thing I never was quite 
sure how to fix best is the fact that when you run `make dist' on the 
trunk, the root directory the zip file contains is `trunk' (or whatever 
you named your bzr checkout), but it should be `emacs-VERSION'.

Well, I guess it helps to have the code sitting around for a while. :) 
Find attached a patch that fixes this.

The main change is that it copies all necessary files to a temporary 
directory and then creates the zip files from that. After that the 
temporary directory is removed.

This change also made `zipdist.bat' a lot simpler, since I don't need to 
do funky path processing.

Now the correct root directory (based on version) will show inside the 
zip file for the trunk as well as any pretest or final version.

There is also a minor bugfix: README.W32 was not copied to the install 
directory when using `make install'.
