Eventually, I intend to write a generic, reusable Xcode project template
that has a tiny, run-on-all-systems app to check the system version and
either fail gracefully or launch the "real" app.

Thank goodness somebody else agrees with my position. (It so rarely happens)
IMHO, the other solutions offered have the short-coming of being brain-dead about what to do in the event the OS falls *above* the known range of compatibility for a given release as well as not providing for things like putting up a dialog to check a website for an update and/or many other elements associated with a graceful abort. The app I am working on contains several OS-dependent versions any one of which can be transparently launched based on the realtime knowledge of the OS version. Besides, having complete control of my little universe feels good!
