I wish I could build this on OS X. I guess I'm writing a patch for it now.

There is Jasspa's distribution available. Binaries for OS X are here: http://www.jasspa.com/downapple.html

(Delete key doesn't work as backspace, though :( I'd love to see your patch for Linus's version)

I use the JASSPA distribution on Windows, but placing this in your configuration might point you in the right direction.

Thanks, it works! (Now "Forward Delete"/Fn+Delete doesn't work, though, but I use it rarely).

Jasspa's is pretty different from Petri Kutvonen's/Linus Torvald's microemacs, though. Much more features.
