it is not so easy and in general we would like to support as many as possible MacOS versions. The point is that we need the related platform SDK and our initial plan was to build against the 10.6 SDK. But with the upgrade to Xcode 4 the 10.6 SDK is not supported anymore and you have to tweak your system which would be ok in general. We developed against 10.7 SDK and did some tests last week against the 10.6 SDK and realized that the libc++ was introduced with 10.7 first. In general it is important that the used system APIs are still valid and supported by a platform. With the 64bit version Herbert replaced some deprecated APIs as well.
