This is not the one I had in mind.  If you are talking about this one,
then there's another problem: this manual also comes with the Texinfo
package.  If that reference is changed to point to the Emacs manual,
it will be broken for someone who installs the Texinfo manual and
doesn't have the Emacs manual installed.
