Personally, I would like to see the Mac Port gain support for the
NS port’s relocatable application bundle (that is, everything
Emacs uses is inside Emacs.app, and /usr/local is not touched).
This makes keeping multiple versions of emacs on the same machine
much nicer.
This support already works for NS and GNUStep, so it shouldn’t be
too hard to add to the Mac Port. Other platforms don’t use the
“.app” functionality, so it shouldn’t impact them, except to make
the functionality more portable if someone wants to try to adapt
it there.
I had meant to do this myself, and will get to it eventually, but
my hacking time is almost non-existant at this point,
unfortunately.
Thank you,
