This is all fine, and really not surprising. My question is:
Why is that causing limited usability? I would expect that
Snow Leopard just ignores the PPC bits in the universal binaries,
and just accesses the x86 bits. The binaries might be larger
than necessary; people bothered by that could easily strip them
using ditto (IIUC).
I'm fine with an option of not building the PPC bits - I'm
just puzzled by the claim that, without the patch, it will
not be "100% usable".
