It _is_ with little impact, but the DOS build looks into version.el to
set $(version) in the top-level Makefile, which all the sub-Make's
then use. You probably didn't think of grepping the files in the
msdos/ subdirectory when you looked for the effects of that change. I
will fix this when I have time.
I don't expect anyone to know all those factoids, much less being an
expert on how the DOS port builds and works. Just talking before
changes like that are made is good enough.
