Everything works great, except for trying to build things against it. w3m apparently cannot be built against emacs22 and work in emacs23. Since the most current version of emacs in /usr/bin is emacs22, I mv'd it and ln'd /usr/bin/emacs to /Applications/Contents/MacOS/Emacs. Now, when running configure for w3m it sees that I'm using emacs23, but it cannot find simple.el, simple.elc, etc.:

Could you try to set the appropriate environment variable rather than creating a symlink into the application bundle?

Usually, it is something like

export EMACS=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs
