Eventually legacy system support gets broken in every project. PPC-based Mac
users (of which I am one, we have three PPC based Macs that continue to run
fine) mostly can update to 10.5. For 10.4 users, I would recommend identifying
the most recent version of Lilypond that will run on that platform and
identifying it on the Web site. This is a standard practice.
