I have access to 10.4 (in fact, it's my main machine), but it's my  
laptop. The nightlies are built on my old beige G3/300, for which  
Jaguar is the last supported OS, because it's the "stable" box that  
is always on and always connected--I can't make the same guarantees  
about my laptop. If you need occassional, ad hoc compiles on 10.4, I  
can do that.

BTW, I just finished my Master's degree in Computer Science, and am  
beginning a job search. If and when I get a good job, I plan to  
upgrade my server to a Mini, which will also be the new compile box  
for the nightlies.
