I think there is a (minor) Emacs issue as to how much configure's
--program-transform-name should affect. Currently it only affects the
Emacs and lib-src binaries.

http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/Transformation-Rules.html

says:

    Whether to do the transformations on documentation files (Texinfo or
    man) is a tricky question; there seems to be no perfect answer, due
    to the several reasons for name transforming. Documentation is not
    usually particular to a specific architecture, and Texinfo files do
    not conflict with system documentation. But they might conflict with
    earlier versions of the same files, and man pages sometimes do
    conflict with system documentation. As a compromise, it is probably
    best to do name transformations on man pages but not on Texinfo
    manuals.

which seems sensible to me.

I guess it must also affect the installed etc/images/icons/hicolor
files, and etc/emacs.desktop, if they are to function.
