It works for me (TM). There's a buildplugin.py script in the archive, 
run 'buildplugin build' and then 'open build/SillyBalls.saver'. On 
Panther you'll get a message that the saver should be installed first, 
and System Preferences will install it for you. I don't know if this 
works on Jaguar, you may have to install it manually (in 
~/Library/Screen Savers).
