I was painful but here is it:

exec /Applications/Aquamacs\ Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs\ Emacs
--eval '(setq load-path (cons "'$OZHOME'/share/elisp" load-path))' -l
oz.elc -f run-oz

The thing is that the real emacs is inside Aquamacs bundle. Remember a
bundle is just another directory containing a lot of stuff.

I am not sure if this is possible in the default installation but
there is a small and useful program to do this called chmox
(http://chmox.sourceforge.net/). May be we can include this one in the
distribution. Pdf is also a good idea, since search for text is pretty
fast on these systems.
