  I haven't looked at the numbers to see who is downloading and using 
which versions. I'd be all too happy to kill of Jaguar support, and 
hopefully VERY SOON NOW the two versions will be Panther and Tiger. :-) 
  Although if Apple screws Roger (which I hope they don't, but suspect 
they will - not just Roger, but all Mac buyers from this point on) we 
may have to fund a copy of Tiger for him.

  In the interim, though, I will try to keep a Jaguar build current, 
even if it lags a day or two beind the "official" dev release from 
Roger.

  I don't recall it being all that difficult, honestly...  I did have to 
rework parts of libusb to deal with some Mac issues so BitPim could 
grab a specific interface even though the OS had other interfaces open, 
but that's all in the standard distribution now. Anyway, maybe we could 
dialog a bit offlist about that. It would be easier for you to maintain 
the build on your primary boot OS, I have to shut down my computer to 
boot up Jaguar to do the build and it's a slight pain. :-)
