I ask same question at:

  http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/145481

Significant changes in nt/README dated:

  revno: 35870
  committer: Andrew Innes <andrewi <at> gnu.org>
  timestamp: Sat 2001-02-03 18:23:30 +0000
  message:
    Replace outdated information.

Next significant thing done by:

  revno: 84027 [merge]
  committer: Miles Bader <miles <at> gnu.org>
  timestamp: Fri 2008-02-01 02:40:23 +0000
  message:
    Merge from emacs--rel--22

But exactly same changes applied to nt/README.w32.

ediff on nt/README.w32 and nt/README show that
nt/README is mostly subset of nt/README.w32.

So why nt/README still alive?

I confused what to read and my little detective search told me
that nt/README useless as duplicate and have no any other info
then in nt/README.w32.

I suggest remove this file (and move any missing to
nt/README.w32) to follow SPOT rule.
