[OS X Emacs] Installing newer version of org-mode

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha Michael,

I am definitely into doing these things the simple way.

The org-mode manual leaves me confused, though.  If I add the two  
lines to my .emacs, as you suggest, is it still necessary to change  
the org-mode Makefile?  I think the org-mode manual can be read either  
way on this.

Thanks,
Tom
