[OS X Emacs] Aquamacs question: disable/rename backup files?

Hello,
I discovered Aquamacs two weeks ago, and I find it very, very good.
It has become my main editor for development (C++ mostly).
There is just one small thing that is annoying, and that I hope an
expert can answer off the top of her head (and yes, I looked in the
help, the FAQ and the Wiki before asking):
aquamacs creates a backup file with the
name ._OriginalName.originalExtension
in the same directory as the original file, for each file I edit.
This conflicts with the build system that I have to use (and cannot
change), which
simply compiles everything with a *.cxx extension in the src
subdirectory of each package.
When it tries to compile the ._Whatever.cxx file I have a problem :-)
So the question is: how can I disable this backup mechanism, or change
the name generation template so that the extension is modified? The
"classical" emacs used to post-pend a tilde to the name, which worked
fine...
Thank you in advance,
Teddy
