It's been pointed out to me that the Emacs front end to emacs has the
path /usr/bin/emacs built in as the place to find an emacs executable.
This gives you (at least) three choices if you want to use it as a
front end to the emacs-18.59 executable I posted today: (a) save
/usr/bin/emacs as /usr/bin/emacs.dist and move /usr/local/bin/emacs
into /usr/bin; (b) save /usr/bin/emacs as in a, and make a link from
/usr/local/bin/emacs to /usr/bin/emacs; or (c) Get the Emacs sources,
and edit the line in EtermView.m that forks the emacs shell to start
up /usr/local/bin/emacs instead of /usr/bin/emacs. Of these, (a) is in
some sense the most conservative, since you don't even have to put
/usr/local/bin on your PATH if you don't have to have anything else
there (move etags, ctags, and emacsclient in the same way). (b) is
what I did - so long ago I'd forgotten about it.
