to a 10.6-only method, and you can then make sure they're all appropriately
conditionalized. Then change the base SDK back to 10.6 (or default) and build
for release (or for testing on a 10.5 machine, but now you shouldn't find any
backwards-compatibility problems there).

Well, I was agreeing until that last sentence. Testing on 10.5 SDK on a 10.6
machine is *absolutely not* a substitute for testing on a machine that is
actually *running* 10.5. m.
