Not actually for the Carbon port.  Input is only read at the timing of
timer expirations and still less responsive.  You can easily observe
total unresponsiveness by turning off all the timers by invoking Emacs
with -Q -D.

Even if you get around the unresponsiveness in the trunk and the
compilation problem in the emacs-unicode-2 branch, the Carbon port
will be unusable anyway when the text drawing in Emacs 23 becomes
font-backend only (unless someone implements font-backend for the
Carbon port).  I don't think it's much meaningful to make the Carbon
port for Emacs 23 work only temporarily.
