I've been using this build for a few days now. IMHO, it would be nice if this were merged with the current CVS version. This would certainly be preferable to an abandoned, no-longer functioning Carbon port.

So, you're saying that there will be a non-X11 version of Emacs for
OSX in the works, even though it's not usable just yet?  Do you have
an idea of when it might be usable?

I'm not saying it is not "usable".  You can try and see it yourself by
downloading it from http://emacs-app.sourceforge.net/.  I think it's
too early to judge if it becomes good enough for Emacs 23.
