Is it planned to merge Cocoa port (emacs-app.sf.net) into the trunk for
this freeze? Since Carbon port is dead, if Cocoa not merged, there will
be no support of MacOSX 10.5 in trunk (IIRC trunk cannot build with X on
10.5).

emacs-app is now an *official?* branch at Savannah and it builds and
works. And building with freetype fails and I reported this.

My build (I am using it to post this) is done as below:

,----
| ./configure --with-ns --without-x --enable-ns-app --prefix=/usr/local 
--without-freetype
| make -j4 bootstrap
| sudo make install
`----

Hope this is of some help.
