The question of space is actually the question of priorities and the
assumptions about the intended user of TL6.

`addpm' (add to program manager) is the simplest way to create NT
Emacs icon and the entry in the program menu. It is no longer needed

It seems however that it still needed for using NT Emacs with gnuserv;
at least it was suggested at the NT Emacs list some time ago.
