I started looking at doing a version for the mainline code, but it’s hard to get motivated b/c using that version of emacs on OS X is a pretty sub-par experience.

Thanks for your work on this support. I found upstream is less active. Don’t know when will be merged.

I would ask that the patch be modified in a way that didn’t break native support if present before it was accepted.

Yes, this troubled my too. Currently no good solution. I will stop this patch for now. Wait for upstream emacs-mac port support. Hope it will be arrived in at leas half of year.
