Not when I did `make install' just now.

Christoph, thanks for asking. We had a similar conversation last summer
when `make dist' wasn't present in emacs-23, but instead I used the older,
`makedist' that I copied from a version before the changes that became
make dist. (I hope I am making sense here.)
I have continued to use makedist for emacs-23, but use make dist for the
weekly builds.
Another lacuna is the README.W32 in the pretest. Um, I haven't had a
chance to check for it ... hold on ... yep:
1) the `makedist' command that I use to build the pretest distribution is
looking for `README.W32' which isn't there anymore but instead is
in /nt as `README'.
2) regarding `make dist' in the pretest:
c:\Users\Sean\Downloads\emacs-23.2.93\nt>make dist
make: *** No rule to make target `dist'. Stop.
3) the question I should have asked eight months ago, can your fine
changes be merged into emacs-23? (Ya know what I'm saying? I
enjoy using make dist, thank you.)
I hope my observations make sense and help.
