True on all points.  I never claimed it was easy :)

I just tried using the 10.4 SDK (-isysroot, -mmacosx-version-min,  
etc.) on my Leopard system to reproduce the results on Tiger and it  
worked.  Does anyone have any experience using that approach to test  
for different platforms?  Would it be a decent poor-man's workaround,  
or just a waste of time?
