When we release 1.4.0, we will *not* be supporting 10.4 *at all*. I
actually plan on building a separate Snow Leopard and Leopard Intel
*only* versions. That is *it*.

Anyone else who wishes to contribute a binary, please do. 10.4 is 2
versions old, and almost 3 versions old now (10.6.6 is due and 10.7 is
definitely in testing at Apple with rumours of release next Summer).

We will also be dropping support for XP eventually (perhaps with 1.4.0),
ie to the point of saying.. if it works, then great, but we won't test
on it anymore. Not confirmed yet.

Thanks
Craig
