That's a good way to get Emacs for OS X, the builds are reasonably
up-to-date. If you have the developer tools, though, you can build your
own, one for the Terminal, one for the GUI (the Carbon Emacs), and you
can be totally up-to-date. Some people don't care about that, some do.
I've got 23.0.50 running here, Carbon and CLI, from CVS, with OS X
10.4.10. I don't use fink, I keep my own /usr/local going; I've got
some pretty weird stuff in there. You might also look at Rudix:
http://rudix.org/
there's a version of Xemacs there (in updates), plus they patch and
build some of the stuff that's difficult with Darwin (gmp and Lua come
to mind). Surprisingly, some stuff you'd think you might have trouble
with builds fast and clean (Apache 2, PHP 5). Sorry for the OT.
