#1421 Add Homebrew Emacs support

[PEDRO A. ARANDA]

I use the Emacs provided by the HomeBrew project. They put all the programs in /usr/local/bin, so I added it to InitialUserDefaults.plist as:

                <dict>
                        <key>name</key>
                        <string>Homebrew Emacs</string>
                        <key>command</key>
                        <string>/usr/local/bin/emacsclient</string>
                        <key>arguments</key>
                        <string>-n -a /usr/local/bin/emacs +%line &quot;%file&quot;</string>
                </dict>

Could you please add that for the next version?

Homebrew emacs indeed is an app and you can make it appear in /Applications
through 'brew linkapps emacs'.

AFAICS Homebrew Emacs isn't an app, therefore it cannot be put in a
default editor, which explicitly looks for apps.

When it's an app, it's called Emacs.app, and that one should work through the already available Emacs preset. THere is definitely no app named "Homebrew Emacs", and that's what a preset expects. (Even if it works for you, that's iuncidental, it is not by design, so it can easily break.)

BTW you should not edit the content of the app bundle, that can give problems with the signing.

Mea culpa :-) Was just trying to provide a proof-of-concept with my feature
request...
