I couldn't open macOS archive, so I don't know what's there, but I 
noticed that Windows ZIP
is missing:
* "debugger.html" & "thanks.txt" docs
* "hmsa" & "gst2ascii" programs
  - these should be built as console programs

(All Python programs are also missing. As most
of them require in addition to Python also socket
connection to Hatari, that's fine.)

In total, there are 3 doc files in Windows ZIP
that are missing from Git:
- README-first.txt
- README-DLL.txt
- README-SDL.txt

Content from first one is partly same as in
readme.txt, and I think that part should be
dropped.

Rest could be joined with README-DLL.txt and
renamed e.g. to README-Windows.txt and added
to Git.

MacOS could then have similar README-macOS.txt
file in Git.

(Last doc is from SDL project and apparently
should be distributed as-is.  That's probably
fine outside of Git.)
