It used to be necessary to have a checkout of the admin directory to
build Windows binaries, as the scripts that built the tarballs/zip files
were also located in the admin directory. Now that the scripts have been
converted to makefile rules, the README.W32 file is the only required
file left there, so it might make more sense to move it to the nt
subdirectory now.
