-Building a version with the installer is a bit more complex and

-directory, switching to the gnupg-1.x.y directory, running
-"./autogen.sh --build-w32" and "make", switching back to the top
-directory, running a "mkdir dist-w32; mkdir iconv", copying the
-required iconv files (iconv.dll, README.iconv, COPYING.LIB) into the
-iconv directory, running gnupg-1.x.y/scripts/mk-w32-dist and voila,
-the installer package will be available in the dist-w32 directory.
+Building a version with the installer requires an install NSIS tool
+and a directory with the iconv files. The script mk-w32-dist does the
+entire build from the tarball and checks most prerequisites; example:
+
+ $ scripts/mk-w32-dist $(pwd)/gnupg-1.4.3.tar.gz
+
+If you installed the iconv files in a non-standard place you may use
+
+ $ scripts/mk-w32-dist --iconv-dir /foo/bar/ $(pwd)/gnupg-1.4.3.tar.gz
+
+If you need to patch the standard tarball, you can supply a patch file:
+
+ $ scripts/mk-w32-dist $(pwd)/gnupg-1.4.3.tar.gz mypatches
+
+That patch file will then be part of the installer.
