Mmm, but that surely means that if you type "emacs foo.c" it'll just
say "command not found".


Which is why /usr/bin/emacs is currently a shell script that chooses
between emacs-x and emacs-nox.

The alternatives system is the standard way of choosing between two
different versions of a command and might work beter for this.
