And if you drop the Jaguar support and require Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later,
then you could also use GCC 4.0 for both PowerPC as well as Intel 
builds ?
Since you said that wxWidgets 2.8 will not support Mac OS X 10.2, I 
mean...
(i.e. then it can use the 10.4u SDK and the Tiger system g++-4.0 
compiler)

So for wxWidgets 2.8 you have:
MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED = MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_3
MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED = MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5

And for wxWidgets 2.6 you had:
MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED = MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_2
MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED = MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_4

Is that correct ? (or was it more like a "general recommendation" ?
documentation only says "compatibility is not guaranteed any more")
