Comment:

 Thanks for the heads up on this release.   I see the release tag in
 upstream git master and can download the snapshot but the port's livecheck
 rules which check for new releases miss this because the release has not
 been indexed in

 http://downloads.webmproject.org/releases/webm/index.html

 per the WebM guidelines

 http://www.webmproject.org/code/releases/

 The prohibition against building on 10.5 and earlier is due to the fact
 that builds on those platforms, in general, are problematic due to the
 outdated toolchains available there.  So much so that newer
 versions of the respective compilers, libraries, etc either are not
 buildable or generate invalid PPC code on those platforms.   In addition,
 my understanding of your updated configuration
 scripts was that those platforms were explicitly not supported from 1.5.0
 on.

 Will update to the latest version and test to see if anything has changed
 in this reqard.  As you say, the utility of a "vanilla" PPC build of this
 package may be limited by performance issues.

 I appreciate your input and will let you know what works and what doesn't
 with the new version.
