Hi Aidan:

This is great news!  But, it looks like you incorporated the
patch event-carbon.c.diff on 
http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-xemacs/Old%20Website/index.html

I don't think this is a good idea.  Carbon Emacs and Aquamacs
allow you to use the Option key as Meta.  That way you can still
use the Apple key for Mac OS purposes.  However, after this patch,
you can't.  The Apple key becomes the Meta key and there doesn't
seem to be an easy way to change the code.  There was a discussion
of this and a patch way back when, but I can't find either at the
moment.  And, IIRC, the original patch gets broken by this latter
patch as well as one that comes even later; maybe
event-carbon2.c.diff?
