This may be a valid reason, but otherwise on Leopard, you don't need to 
install Carbon Emacs 22, you already have it :-)

In fact, /usr/bin/emacs is a full GNU emacs-22.1. The only thing missing 
for a full-blown Carbon Emacs is (rather perversely) the Emacs.app 
envelope which consists basically of two files, Info.plist and the icon 
image file. It is very easy to make it yourself by downloading these two 
files from the gnu emacs cvsweb, for example, and placing them into the 
right directory structure. The executable Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs 
is then simply a symlink to /usr/bin/emacs.

A ready-made app-bundle (it's tiny: 24kB compressed) was recently 
attached to a message to the X11-users list. You can download it from here:
<http://lists.apple.com/attachments/binTJolh9WCAJ.bin>
Rename the downloaded file to Emacs.app.tar.bz2 and run
tar jxf Emacs.app.tar.bz2.

Maybe we could make a Fink package out of this...
