To try to convince you of why this is important to me (you can extrolate to
other people if you want) I would like to state the following. 

Due to the omission of the pre-compiled binaries requiring 10.5 or newer I
wasted over 8 hours of my time trying to get it to work. From thinking that I
had not done things correctly, To thinking the OS was not installed
correctly,... So Please update your documentation as I would have appreciated
knowing that from the start.
 Also a temporary scare to my pride could have been avoided because I am a "mac
expert" and my one acquaintances an admitted mac non expert (but networking
guru) came out with the line well it worked fine for me with no problems. (they
where running 10.5 although they told me 10.4).

(hopefully per this message you realize that I don't mind that it does not work
under 10.4 as long as it clearly states 10.5.x+ .

To back this claim up  here is one of you own bugs comment #3 says that it is
being left open to try to compile for 10.4 because it is not working.

 I will have access to a 10.5 box tomorrow, so I am good for now.
