Well, I don't have the skills or resources to compile from source so I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for a precompiled binary for OS X 10.1.5 to run under XDarwin. Kind of complicated and rather limiting. fink makes this stuff easier, I know. Once OS X/Aqua is integrated into the source code it will become much easier. Rumor has it this will happen in 21.4.
