This is the problem that the SDKs were built to address. Just build
against the 10.2 SDK. And test on all of the above.

Depends on what you're trying to do. See
<http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2064.html>. In the case
of Spotlight, if all you want is for Spotlight to be able to gather
metadata for your documents you should just be able to write a
Spotlight Importer which would then be ignored on 10.3- (see
<http://developer.apple.com/macosx/tiger/spotlight.html>).
