-The Mac version requires compiled Lisp files to be present in the lisp
-directory to run properly.  It is cumbersome to bootstrap from only
-the Lisp source files.  One way of getting the compiled Lisp files is
-to build Emacs once on, say, a Unix system and transfer that directory
-to the Mac.  Note that linefeed conversion must be disabled when
-transferring compiled Lisp files.

-An alternative is to unzip and untar the archive lisp-elc.tgz.  An
-older version of frame.elc in the archive may cause a problem when the
-Mac version starts up.  If this is the case, simply remove or rename
-that file.  Then once Emacs runs, you can invoke
-byte-recompile-directory on the lisp directory to byte-compile all
-out-of-date Lisp files.

-You may also need to run update-autoloads-from-directories on the lisp
-directory to bring loaddefs.el up-to-date.
