Chris,
I've asked around on the darwin x11 mailing list and so far
the answers suggest the worst. From what I have heard so far, the
X11.app for Macintel doesn't provide a mechanism to transparently
provide the ppc X11 libraries to ppc X11 executables so they don't
run. So it appears that everything for X11 will have to be rebuilt
as intel binaries. This is really unfortunate as it will likely take
several years to completely repopulate all the scientific versions
of X11 applications with Universal versions. Also its unclear how
difficult it will be to built Universal versions with typical
makefiles
(since few scientific applications bother to use the Xcode build
system).
Well, for the opensource versions, I'd imagine they'd do the same as
every other unix arch, have a ppc build and an intel build. Too easy.
