Re: enabling DMG and XAR support

You're right, it shouldn't matter, PowerPC

The next question coming will be OS related so I'll answer ahead of  
time, OS is Mac OS X 10.4.x.

The reason is simple, I must support the OS the customer uses so  
there is no upgrading the OS, no changing OS and no changing the  
hardware.

Since it stopped building correctly/completely under GCC 4.x we were  
left with no choice but to abandon it.
