Unable to run (Carbon) emacs from the command line

[Chris Rose]

This isn't so much a bug, per se, as it is missing functionality.  It  
would be
convenient to be able to run emacs from the command line, as well as
emacsclient.  However, the actual binaries are not on the path  
(obviously) and
when I place a symlink to them in ~/bin and invoke them from there (~/ 
bin/emacs
~/.bashrc, for example) I get this:
Warning: arch-dependent data dir (/Volumes/Emacs/Emacs.app/Contents/ 
MacOS/libexec/emacs/22.0.50/i386-apple-darwin8.7.1/) does not exist.
Warning: arch-independent data dir (/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/ 
Resources/share/emacs/22.0.50/etc/) does not exist.

Subsequent to that, I get no emacs window.

If I invoke the command by typing ~/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/ 
MacOS/Emacs
I get a working window.
