The Unix convention is to have a directory for a package.  The
directory for Emacs could be /usr/local/emacs-21.2.  Then this
directory contains subdirs bin, man, info, lib, share.  The bin
directory contains the programs.

So, the Emacs executable would be /usr/local/emacs-21.2/bin/emacs.

But you have a directory c:/bin (or /c/bin or whatever) which is
named bin but does not contain programs.  Instead, it contains a
subdir emacs-21.2 which contains subsubdirs...

So you could rename /c/bin to /c/sw or /c/local or /c/pkg or
something, and then David wouldn't have been surprised.
