 Updates to src/_macosx.m from version 1.4.3 -> 1.5.0 contain the root of
 the problem.  The new version of _macosx.m fails to compile:

 {{{
 src/_macosx.m: In function GraphicsContext_draw_text:
 src/_macosx.m:2704: error: kCTForegroundColorFromContextAttributeName
 undeclared (first use in this function)
 }}}

 There were lots of changes to _macosx.m. There were too many for me to
 immediately identify the culprit so I replaced the new version of
 _macosx.m with its predecessor and rolled on. That worked...

 I realize that maintaining a code base to be compatible with ancient
 versions of OS X [and PPCs] is somewhat akin to riding a dead horse. The
 wisdom of the Plains Indians suggests that when you discover you are
 riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. Still,  "we" do
 love a technical challenge...
