Added note to see INSTALL.CVS, and to make sure touch creates files.

  If you are building out of CVS, then some files in this directory
  (.bat files, nmake.defs and makefile.w32-in) may need the line-ends
  fixing first. The easiest way to do this and avoid future conflicts
  is to run the following command in this (emacs/nt) directory:
     cvs update -kb

  To compile Emacs, you will need either Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0 or
  later and nmake, or a Windows port of GCC 2.95 or later with Mingw
  and W32 API support and a port of GNU make.  You can use the Cygwin
  ports of GCC, but Emacs requires the Mingw headers and libraries to

  Emacs executable with strange filename completion behaviour.  Unless
  you would like to assist by finding and fixing the cause of any bugs
  like this, we recommend the use of the supported compilers mentioned
  in the previous paragraph.

  If you build Emacs on Windows 9X or ME, not on Windows 2K/XP or
  Windows NT, we suggest to install the Cygwin port of Bash.

  Please see http://www.mingw.org for pointers to GCC/Mingw binaries.

  For reference, here is a list of which builds of GNU make are known
  to work or not, and whether they work in the presence and/or absence
  of sh.exe, the Cygwin port of Bash. Note that any version of make
  that is compiled with Cygwin will only work with Cygwin tools, due to

  In addition to this file, you should also read INSTALL.CVS in the
  parent directory, and make sure that you have a version of "touch.exe"
  in your path, and that it will create files that do not yet exist.

  You will also need a copy of the Posix cp, rm and mv programs. These
  and other useful Posix utilities can be obtained from the Mingw or
  Cygwin projects.
