Now that you have the release.py (see below), you can easily see it is just:

makensis /V2 /DINCLUDE_GTK geany.nsi

the Copying.txt is expected to be copied when installing Geany.
'waf install' does this.
We cannot use a plain 'make install' on Windows as it is done on Linux,
the Geany wscript has some logic, yes and magic, to do things different
on Windows (like renaming AUTHORS, COPYING, README and so on to *.txt).

They are not meant to exist in the repository, at least so far.
It seems I forgot to attach them to the wiki page, done now.

https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/win32/build#release_geany_and_geany-plugins

The scripts contain commands to digitally sign the binary files. These
won't work on your system except you have my cerificate :).
For testing, just comment this out. I still need to document the
signcode.exe magic.

Enrico
