Emacs and Leopard problems continue

[Jordan K. Hubbard]

OK, I'll bite.  What specifically is wrong with the system emacs that  
requires folks to struggle so hard to build another copy?   It even  
supports carbon if you add an app wrapper (like the one I just  
attached - a mere 55k, and most of that is the icon), so I'm not sure  
what would lead one to struggle so hard to build emacs again.   Yes,  
the macports version should certainly work just on general principle,  
but that's not the question I'm asking.
