Attached is the patch.

A thought: at present there are some optional lines (commented out by  
default) that make calls to Growl (http://growl.info) to provide more  
tactile feedback during the sometimes lengthy synchronous search made  
by AppleScript. Growl, however, is under a BSD license. Can these  
lines be included in Emacs?
