The both osx snapshots should run on both i386 and ppc systems, but one is 
actually built on i386 and the other is built on ppc. The ppc build was 
originally being built by Steven Borley's mirror-doors, but it suffered a 
hardware failure, so I eventually replaced it with my own cf-ppc-macosx. I 
ended up with a newer version of Xcode (Apple's developer tools) on it 
which defaults to targeting osx version 10.5 and later. The snapshot 
theoretically is being built with the switches to also include 
compatibility with 10.4 (which is what the i386 built snapshot is running 
on and targeting), but as far as I know, no one has actually confirmed 
that it works on 10.4. Borut had expressed some concern about this version 
compatibility to me earlier and said he thought it might be better to 
consider the i386 built snapshot the more official because of the 
uncertainty. My main interest was to ensure the regression tests were 
being run regularly on ppc, so I haven't really looked into the os version 
compatibility question.
