Well, I wouldn't quite call it fully native. The original plan was for
a fully native version; this version will be a bit of a hack. I'm happy
to see Altivec optimization made the cut. I do plan to check it out. A
word of warning for RSI tech support, though - I have not been
persistent in reporting bugs and user interface ugliness in the Linux
version because I have been developing on the Mac. The Mac interface
has been much nicer than the Linux interface, so I simply minimized my
exposure to the Linux interface. If I do start using the OS X version,
and if it does inherit to interface bugs and ugliness of the Linux
version, I'll be complaining.

Who knows, maybe I will check to see if the OS X version of emacs is
anything other than ugly...
