Why is it again that we need separate dmgs for separate OS releases  
at all? Why don't we just have a single universal dmg, with the  
PowerPC part built with the 10.3.9 SDK and the Intel part built with  
the 10.4u SDK, and everyone's happy? Isn't that the whole point of  
universal binaries and those SDKs?

Frankly, that's how I'd like ports built too, when the +universal  
binary is selected. But that can be a separate topic for another day.
