For lack of familiarity with the Windows world, I don't know if = typical
Windows users will want to add it to PATH (as a GNU/Linux user, of
course I'd do that), but I think the "frequently" above is in= correct.

Makefiles ? But the average Wi= ndows user does not have a make.exe program on his machine
and do= es not even know what it is used for.

(Admittedly,= an Emacs user is probably not an average Windows user).
