OSX 10.5 server supposedly allows you to virtualize, but I think it
won't be able to run instances of 10.4. So that isn't really a

I would also consider Craig to be a non-random person you and many

Or alternatively provide a VMWare image so we can build locally. If
your favourite Linux distribution is not supported that would probably
be the quickest way.
