Thanks Gregory.  Here's something that Martin Fuhrer, who currently
maintains Tux Paint for OS X, pointed out in response to this thread
over on the tuxpaint-devel mailing list:

  Yes, installing XCode 2.5 and the OS X 10.2.8 SDK on Leopard should be
  no problem.  The actual problem lies elsewhere: when I twice tried to
  build Tux Paint for OS X 10.2.8 a few years ago, using XCode 2.x and
  the OS X 10.2.8 SDK, I always ran into strange link errors due to
  duplicate symbols in the OS X 10.2.8 libraries and elsewhere in the
  Tux Paint dependencies (libintl I think, but my memory is hazy...).
  In the end I gave up in frustration.  I can always give it another
  try, but I'm not convinced that the duplicate symbols will have put
  aside their differences and made friends in these intervening years ;)

So I guess I was off in my understanding in precisely _what_ the issue
was. :^P

But hey, since we're talking, if anyone wants to try giving Martin a hand
doing this, and navigating the library issues, I'd love the help!
