Download, expand and update EMACS_HOME

I downloaded the new emacs from the GNU ftp site. The file was https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-26/emacs-26.2-x86_64.zip

The downloaded emacs zip was expanded into C:\Program Files\Emacs\emacs-26.2-x86_64 this is my new EMACS_HOME.

My shortcuts now all depend on EMACS_HOME

I have three shortcut for emacs, the daemon, the client and no-daemon.

For the daemon the shortcut target is:

Updating SBCL on Windows

Download the new installer, http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sbcl/sbcl-1.4.14-x86-64-windows-binary.msi. Run the installer, the old SBCL is removed and the new one is installed. I had a few dll which I placed next to my sbcl.exe which remained in the old location. I moved these to the new location. The SBCL_HOME was also reset to the new location.

My .emacs file slime-lisp-implemenations is written in terms of SBCL_HOME so it, just works.
