Thanks, Chad, this highlights a reason beyond the personal why I'd like Mac Port in the main-line: I recommend it every Mac user I know, but many are n= ot willing to go through the extra effort of patching their sources to build i= t. Instead, they download binaries from emacsformacosx.com, and never get to experience how nice Emacs can be on OS X. --=20 John Wiegley GPG fingerprint =3D 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com 60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2
