Sorry, I don't follow: aren't you invoking "make install"?  If not,
what Make command are you using that doesn't work?

The change I made moved addpm.exe installation from install-bin to
install-shortcuts, both of which are run by "make install".  The full
log entry reads:

        * makefile.w32-in (install-bin): Don't copy addpm.exe here.  Use
        $(DIRNAME)_same-dir.tst instead of same-dir.tst, to avoid stepping
        on other (parallel) Make job's toes.
        (install-other-dirs-nmake, install-other-dirs-gmake): Depend on `all'.
        (install-shortcuts): Depend on $(INSTALL_DIR)/bin.  Copy addpm.exe
        here.
        (maybe-copy-distfiles-CMD, maybe-copy-distfiles-SH, dist): Depend
        on create-tmp-dist-dir.

So copying of addpm.exe wasn't just removed, it was moved.  Granted, I
tested the change, and it worked for me.

In general, addpm.exe is not needed, unless one wants to create or
update the shortcuts, which is why I didn't hesitate to move that
command (in its previous place, it interfered with parallel execution
of "make install", which was the motivation for the change).
