The 2.6 installer image does not include 64-bit binaries. As of this
week the script that creates the installer can build an installer that
does support 64-bit code as well, but that only works on Leopard systems.
I'm thinking about how to distribute binaries that support 64-bit code
without unduly complicating the world. The easiest option for me would
be to have two installers: one 32-bit only that supports OSX 10.3.9
and later and a 4-way universal one that supports OSX Leopard and
later. It might be possible to have a single installer that supports
64-bit code on Leopard but is usable on 10.3.9 as well, but I haven't
checked yet how much that would complicate the build.
Two installers sounds OK to me, particularly if it simplifies the build
process but allows us to still support 64bit.
