[Brad Miller]

Hi David,
Tried to build from source today on Snow Leopard, Is this an example of the
problem you were writing about? Or is it something new?

`/bin/pwd`/temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap
Loading loadup.el (source)...

/Users/bmiller/src/aquamacs-emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp
/Users/bmiller/src/aquamacs-emacs/lisp/language
/Users/bmiller/src/aquamacs-emacs/lisp/international
