Dear, Currently, if Emacs is absent of PATH then ./configure defaults to /usr/bin/emacs, therefore the script etc/indent-code.el fails when the user runs it. With the patch, the file etc/indent-code.el will not be outputed if Emacs is absent and ./configure warns the user. From my point of view, it avoids trivial mistake of non-Emacs-er newcomers and ease their experience when contributing.
