It sounds like you have some interest in OS X binary packages, which 
suggests that you might have some access to OS X machines with various 
versions of that OS.  If there were a simple recipe for building the 
installers, would you be interested in doing that for some elements of 
the set {10.4, 10.5, 10.6} X {2.4, 2.5, 2.6}?  How simple would it need 
to be for you to be interested in helping out with this?
