Mac (Leopard) story

[Paul Michael Reilly]

I see from the NEWS file that Mac Carbon is no longer supported and that 
there is a placeholder for a replacement story.

Having recently acquired a Mac with Leopard installed that only has a 
terminal version of Emacs I immediately proceeded to download the Xcode 
3.0 development tools and configured Emacs to build from the CVS 
sources.  The only breakage I encountered was missing graphics libraries 
(jpeg, gif and tiff --- can anyone give me a decent reference on how to 
get these libraries easily installed since the fink and 
darwinports/macports sites didn't do the trick for me).  I passed on the 
graphics libraries for now and Emacs built and installed nicely, sort 
of.  It appears to be an X11 application meaning I get the X11 menu in 
the top menu bar where I kind of expected the Emacs menu bar to be.  Is 
anyone working on making Emacs on the Mac (Leopard) a first class 
citizen?  Not that I'm volunteering ... so many projects, so little 
time.  Just curious.
