In counterpoint to this, a DOSBox preinstalled with GEM (or at least 
the configuration and GEM installation and so forth) would be quite 
useful to me, at least, as I do not currently possess a windows 
machine; thus having a command I could run to fire up GEM (or even a 
set of directories I could copy into a dosbox directory and just hit 
"go") in a window would be quite useful.

Though this shifts the focus away from GEM for Windows to a more 
general "GEM-in-a-box"...

I think it's worth doing, personally, and could be useful.  I'd 
certainly be willing to test and tweak on MacOS.
