Well, this is an interesting problem, because there are still people running Tiger out there, and some with earlier OSes, and even developers who just bought a shiny new Leopard machine might wish to support them.

proceed without testing what it builds.

I guess the hope is that we all have a reasonable collection of old Macs with various versions of PPC/Intel and various versions of OS X. But even so, it would be useful if there were some systematic way to identify what versions of the OS a particular machine would support, and to be able to
get them from somewhere, for backward compatibility support.

Ultimately if you have the computer, you should also have the OS disk that came with it. The machine supports the version on that disk, and everything after it (until it falls below the latest OS's min. requirements)
