OS X (Power PC Processor)
OS X (Intel Mac Processor)
I know it's subtle, but gives a clue. :o)

It might be worth seeing how much machine code is in the release,
since it is the part that is doubled.
Our libraries are pretty chunky. I did an experiment, and the end-
user checkpoint releases are:
PPC: 139 MB
Intel: 116 MB
I wrote a script that combines the two into a universal binary, and
that comes out as:
Universal: 170 MB
