I omiited mule-packages because But XEmacs on Windows doesn't support
MULE (yet).

Does that mean
1. The Windows version is not as easily relocatable as the Unix
version?
Yes, unless one lays it out in the same way as the UNIX version.
2. on Windows NT you basically revert to the old distribution
method, i.e. just include everything?. Why?
Windows users are used to a point-and-drool method of installation, so
the binaries, common and packages are wrapped up inside an install
program that installs everything and sets EMACSPACKAGEPATH accordingly.
