>aout2exe prog

is equivalent to 
copy /b stub.exe+prog prog.exe

which still requires a go32.exe to be in the path

while

copy /b go32.exe+prog prog.exe 

binds go32.exe itself to the executable.

The latter method requires royalties to be paid when you sell the
.exe to someone else.

The former method (using stub.exe) relieves you from that duty.
