...which probably wouldn't, by default, work on Leopard no matter what, given
that some of the X11 libraries keep changing their version number in ways that
break backwards compatibility (if you build on 10.6.x, you may end up with
something that doesn't work on 10.6.y if y < x).
If we built against the 10.5 SDK, rather than the installed headers and
libraries in /usr/include and /usr/lib, we could get something that worked on
10.5.x and 10.6.y for most if not all values of x and y.
However, the x86-64 version wouldn't work on Core Solo or Core Duo machines, so
we'd have to either
1) say "64-bit only";
2) offer both 32-bit x86 and x86-64 versions (and, if we're really
ambitious, PPC and PPC64 versions);
3) lipo the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the binaries - and the
support libraries - together.
