Mac OS X GNU Emacs Installer (make-package)

[Steven Tamm]

I just checked in a bunch of changes to the make-package installer.  
They are reduce the size of the installer and the amount of disk space 
required.  Before the changes the disk image for the installer was 25.6 
MB after compression, now it is 16.4MB with no compression.  In fact, 
compression doesn't really reduce the size that much so the script 
doesn't bother.

By default, it no longer installs the .el files that are precompiled 
(use --full-dist to bring them back).  If you specify the --symlink 
flag, the Emacs binary inside the Carbon Emacs.app will be a symlink to 
$prefix/bin/emacs.   This makes the Emacs app very small (60K), which 
is probably a good thing.  I also added a flag to create self-contained 
binaries (where the binary is placed in 
Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/bin).  There were some other changes too, 
but not really that important.  I'd suggest rerunning make-package if 
you are running out of bandwidth on your site.

For the list: Why does "make install" install two identical copies of 
the executable; emacs & emacs-21.3.50?  Why is emacs not a symbolic 
link?
