For portability; the realpath command (e.g. from GNU coreutils)
is not so common outside Linux systems.

The "$(cd emacs && pwd -P)" replaces that realpath(1) execution
suitably in this context (using just bash(1) builtins).

Quotes ("") added for it to be better example for someone(tm) who
may look it while writing some other shell script elsewhere;
here, as $IFS characters are not (currently!) allowed in $PWD
those makes no difference...
