I think I fixed this.  Could people who build Emacs on MS-Windows
please try bootstrapping, and verify that (1) bootstrap still works,
and (2) after "make bootstrap" finishes, there's no emacs.exe in the
`bin' subdirectory of the tree root directory (i.e., you must do a
"make install" to get bin/emacs.exe)?
