Dependency on developer tools

[Scott Haneda]

You just saddened me as I run multiple PPC servers :)
Do you have stats?  I would be willing to wager there is a  
disproportionate amount of users that are on PPC using MacPorts.

I will bring this up also on the off list thread about Web site  
changes, as with a little plugging in of Analytics, or running the  
logs, we can find out exactly what the breakdown is, based on browser  
and OS.
