I see it says:

**
  These binaries are only for OS X 10.4 or 10.5.  They will not work
on OS X 10.3.
**

However, that's simply wrong, since the binaries are only for the
platform listed in the name of the dmg.  Argh.  That needs to be
changed.  (I was thinking of a different README file when I wrote my
response.)    Thanks for the bug report.  We are tracking this here;
