So I've just built the 2008 src tarball for the first time, and was poking
through the source code while it was building.  I did a make-package
--build-in-place from inside the emacs/mac directory.

The build went okay, but now I'm a little unclear what the typical
hack/rebuild/debug cycle looks like.  I can't launch the Emacs executable
directly from the looks of it (Warning: arch-dependent data dir
(/usr/local/libexec/emacs/22.1.50/i386-apple-darwin9.1.0/) does not exist),
but I bet that using the .dmg and doing a full-blown install is the wrong
way to go about it.  Any suggestions?

I'll comb through the list a bit more to see if I can glean anything.

Thanks for helping out a newbie emacs hacker,
Joel
