This is "Mac port" addition to GNU Emacs 24. This provides a native GUI
support for Mac OS X 10.4 - 10.9. Note that Emacs 23 and later already
contain the official GUI support via the NS (Cocoa) port for Mac OS X
10.4 and later. So if it is good enough for you, then you don't need to
try this.
This commit also fixes an issue where pkgconfig was only added as a
dependency when gtk support was enabled. This made ./configure unable
to find other libraries (libtiff, libxml2, gnutls, and others).
The builder.sh script used to call "make bootstrap" before running the build.
This build step, however, removes all kinds of generated files normally
included in the distributions -- such as the 'configure' script. If that target
is run, then new version of Emacs require Autoconf and Automake to compile.
Since the benefit of running "make bootstrap" is unclean to me, I chose to
remove that build step instead. As far as I can tell, the Emacs binary that
results from this build works fine.
The 24.x version is still low-prio in nixpkgs until we've figured out how to
support multiple 'emacsPackages' sets properly.
