I'm working on it right now. I would like a pronouncement on a backward incompatible change though: The _OSA module doesn't compile anymore because it wraps an API that was unsupported in 10.4 and was removed in 10.5. I can probably add some configury-logic to detect if the API is still present, but would prefer to remove those wrappers completely. That's no problem for 2.6 and 3.0, but strictly speaking this would introduce a backward incompatibility in 2.5.2. The wrappers are for debugging functionality and unlikely to be used by anyone. BTW. the wrappers for OSADebug* functions are now gone in the trunk (as of revision 59369).
