+ You may want to define this if you want to be able to install updated
+ emacs binaries even when other users are using the current version.
+ The problem with some file servers (notably Novell) is that an open
+ file cannot be overwritten, deleted, or even renamed. So if someone
+ is running emacs.exe already, you cannot install a newer version.
+ By defining CHOOSE_NEWEST_EXE, you can name your new emacs.exe
+ something else which matches "emacs*.exe", and runemacs will
+ automatically select the newest emacs executeable in the bin directory.
+ (So you'll probably be able to delete the old version some hours/days
+ later).
