a2ps.el and a2ps-print.el installed in root when no emacs

[Jonathan A. Irwin]

Hi,

I noticed this a couple of years ago, and today, after installing
a2ps-4.13b, it happened again. I guess the install routine is looking
for an emacs dir to set as an environment variable, not finding it,
and using an empty variable as the emacs path...

The net result is that a2ps.el and a2ps-print.el get plonked into /.

Here's the relevant bit of my install log...

Oops. :)
