Would anyone decide that other than this group?

Drop that baby!

First, it's bit odd -- as I undertand it, the python.org builds support
either 10.3.9 + or 10.6+. As 10.5 has not been supported for Apple for a
couple years, and 10.6 is getting pretty darn long in the tooth, the only
reason to support that older build is for PPC support - I wonder how many
folks are still running PPCs? I thought I was one of the hold outs, and I
dropped it over a year ago. I'd love to know if it is something that the
community still needs to support.

And thanks for doing this Matthew!
