The more I work on supporting 10.3.9 and 10.4 the more I believe that  
the binary installer shouldn't link to system versions of libraries  
that aren't in a part of the OS where Apple is serious about  
versioning/backward-compatiblity.

That is the easiest way  to achieve compatibility with older OS  
releases without extensive testing.

BTW. I don't know what I'll do once 10.5 is out, I might stop working  
on 10.3.9 support.
