I wasn't able to access that using sftp, but I took a look at 
lisp/term/ns-win.el and it needs a cleanup.

Here are some comments for FOR_RELEASE:

- it shouldn't set the "File" menu
- the pager-* functions don't belong there
- bindings for C-v, next, prior
- transient-mark-mode should not be called
- mouse-wheel-mode call should be moved inside
  ns-initialize-window-system
- remove the defvaralias
- remove some of the defaliases in favor of renaming the functions they alias
- some functions are called do-*. are they useful? if yes, use the ns- prefix
- is the iconify-or-deiconify-frame redefinition useful?
- require 'mldrag?
- {up,down,left,right}-one functions don't belong here
- what are ns-working-overlay, ns-*working-text? Are they acceptable in
  that file?
