Based on your and Mitsuharu-san's reply, I think merging his work into
the NS port is the better path rather than trying to bring the Mac port
into the Emacs tree. If you can define the work necessary to do the
event handling and text rendering rework, plus the other specific
features of the Mac port that are missing in the NS port, that would be
a helpful TODO list for any contributors.
Thanks
Ted
