Liger: It's pretty much my favorite animal

[Timothy Lee]

Thanks for the reply Ryan!

I've noticed this App Note published by Apple:
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2064.html

It looks like the universal_target (really the  
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4) might be the only thing required to  
build tiger-compatible apps on leopard.

Does anyone have any other insight into this?

Thanks
Tim
