I was trying to think of a way to update the Chandler website about
what's new in alpha3. One thing that's new is native Intel support for
the Mac. But as far as I know there in no visible difference between
the Intel build and previous Mac builds.
Maybe we could either add a note to the About Chandler box stating
this is a native Intel build for the Mac, and/or add something to the
splash-screen when the program loads?
I'm not really the engineering contact for this kind of thing, but it
looks to me as if tweaking the splash screen (and/or the About
Chandler box) to show something platform and/or architecture specific
is mainly a testing issue (i.e. the code changes aren't hard). Another
option might be a way to change the app's version string to include
extra info, though I'm not so familiar with how the build system
produces the version string.
I would be hesitant to change the version string just for the simple
reason that it is currently platform agnostic and would love to keep it
that way :)
What I did do is update the About Box to display a platform string under
the version number - the modified code is attached to bug 6271

Your patch will display "intel" for PPC platforms too. Looks like a
copy/paste error.
