In order to have the same .emacs both in mac & linux, I use the
following contitionals in several places in my .emacs:

8<------------------------------------------------------------

;;;;  MAC ONLY MAC ONLY ------------------------------
(when (eq system-type 'darwin)
  (set-exec-path-from-shell-PATH)
  (add-to-list 'exec-path "/Users/jips/bin" )

  ;; MAC ONLY: locate -> mdfind (spotlight)
  (setq locate-command "mdfind")

  ;; command-` to switch frames
  (global-set-key [?\M-`] 'other-frame) ;  # This sets the key binding

  (setq mac-option-key-is-meta nil)
  (setq mac-command-key-is-meta t)
  (setq mac-command-modifier 'meta)
  (setq mac-option-modifier nil)

  ;; JABBER
  (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs_stuff/emacs-jabber-0.8.0")
  (require 'jabber-autoloads)
)

8<------------------------------------------------------------

You may find appropriate tests for your winXP, etc.

Maybe the above (setq mac... statements help with getting the correct
behaviour for Command and Option(Alt).

Ugh! Fortunately I live 11000km away from AZERTY keyboards.

I use both english and spanish keyboard layouts. The Alt key works OK
for special keys (accents, etc.).
