I'd be happy to try it, but when I open the Emacs.app included in the mac/
folder, I get the following error:

joost <at> pc201:~/Desktop/emacs-24.0.95-mac-2.91/mac $ open Emacs.app/
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Users/joost/Desktop/emacs-24.0.95-mac-2.91/mac/Emacs.app.

(Same thing happens if I move Emacs.app to /Applications.)
