 system could figure out what needed to be rebuilt, and it would take
 1/100th the time to build that way.

 Okay, I understood. Then I gonna propose it as PPC-only.

 Latest-commit version has built perfectly fine on 10A190 (against 10.4
 SDK) and works normally, I will build it on 10.5.8 next, adding stip, if
 everything is smooth, gonna make a PR.
 (I believe officially supported OSs won’t have problems, if even
 unsupported worked.)

 It is really unfortunate that `ppc64` is not supported with TFF, that
 would be a much better browser for Leopard :(

 We have nothing that can be built for 64-bit, right? WebKit2 is broken,
 Chromium-legacy is Intel-only.

 Thank you! And thanks for the portfile, it is really helpful.
