Are you making the wonderful "*-deps-*.zip" packages? If so thank you!
I recently convinced the nice IT admin to install Emacs on my Windows work
PC on which I have zero fun rights. So far, it has been working great in
that it makes it somewhat bearable to use a Windows PC.
If possible, I might humbly request three other dependencies be included
in the future.
- zip.exe and unzip.exe (Info-Zip, I guess) are used when exporting ODT
documents with Org and would be nice to include.
- spellcheckers like hunspell and maybe aspell would be really, really
nice to have! It’s admittedly a very soft dependency, but at least when
you rely on Windows IT Admins, they get a bit confused when you first
send them to the hunspell github page, only to tell them that the binary
version can be gotten from Eli’s Sourceforge page...
Thanks,
Rasmus
