I can't remember what was the reason, but I suspect that
date: 2008-07-03 23:39:37 -0400; author: monnier; state: Exp; lines: +6
-1; commitid: kLQlf04BwIcb9r9t;
(${etc}DOC): Depend on ${lisp} rather than ${shortlisp}.
is a good explanation: when I applied that patch DOC did not depend on
${lisp}. So you're probably right that we can now undo this change to
emacs${EXEEXT}.
I'm curious, tho: why do you ask?
