Basically, the issue is the following one:
It's pretty easy to know what the OS version is. You can use
command line tools, gestalts, etc.
The problem is that this piece of information is inaccurate (or
wrong).
There is no global system version that encompasses what software
updates have been applied. That'd be like asking for a version
number that tells you what apps are installed.
Instead, you should be checking for the presence of your specific
requirements. If you know you need a certain version of a firewire
driver for your electric dog polishing gizmo, check the appropriate
kext. If you need specific frameworks, look for them.
There are many slight variations of the OS that Apple calls 10.5.1.
From the user's point of view, they all offer the same features,
and are all 10.5.1.
OK, so it should be feature oriented.
