If you have several Emacsen installed in parallel, the step in 'make install' that links $(FULLEMACS) to $(EMACS) is almost never wanted. It would be nice if there was a separate target that avoided removing the previous link (which should be left alone) and then creating a new link. Two patches to Makefile.in (one for trunk and the other for emacs-24) are attached that implement the above suggestion. Feel free to give those targets better names.
