"Emacs" in nsfns.m, nsmenu.m and nsterm.m don't seem to be related
-- colorlist index, appMenu name, and default frame name etc.

I don't well understand this.
"TODO" in nsfns.m: x_get_string_resource?

Again, Cocoa Emacs (23) is just an upgrade from Carbon Emacs (22).
It is usual that different versions share the same signature;
for example, Photoshop CS 3 and Photoshop CS use "8BIM",
and OmniGraffle 5 and OmniGraffle Pro 4 use "OGfl".
I've never experienced serious conflicts between these different  
versions.
Furthermore, these old Mac codes (the signature and the file type)
don't play an important role on recent OSX.


I've checked in my change in nextstep/.
