Mac OS X Command Line Options Bug Fix

Hello Everyone,

I've checked in the following patch to the CVS that allows Emacs to be
started correctly as a GUI application from the terminal on Mac OS X.
Therefore command line options can now be passed to Emacs.  The OS X
loader still requires a pathname to the executable in the bundle be
typed to the shell for Emacs to correctly find its resources.

Now that this problem is solved, I will soon be changing
src/makefile.in to install the executable only at one place (within
the application bundle in its usual place, which is placed in say
/Applications/ or some other location specified by the user).  The
`executable' in $prefix/bin/ will really be just something like the
following script:

  #!/bin/sh
  /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs $*

When invoked from the command line, it will start a GUI or terminal
version depending on whether the -nw switch is used.

Of course one can still double-click on the application bundle in the
Finder to start Emacs.

I invite everyone to test this patch.

Andrew.
