Mac OS Tiger / Gcc4.0 support

[William K]

Not me yet.  Or anyone else that can say - developers that have advance
copies of Tiger are probably under NDAs on how things work (tho
developers can probably update their software to work on Tiger, they
just can't say how).

I'll probably be waiting a couple weeks to get and install Tiger, just
to see where everyone else has problems.  Also depends on when I have
time next month - kinda busy.  But I'll try to get a binary package as
soon as I can.  Of course, if the current one works on Tiger, that's
less pressure, and good to know.

GCC 3.3 vs 4.0 shouldn't be too hard - even now Apple has a way to
switch versions, so if there are major problems with 4.0 and MapServer,
one can just switch to 3.3 which works.

If you have Tiger now, as a non-dev, you're lucky.  I heard there was a
screwup at some online retailers and they shipped some early.  I guess
those people that got it early wouldn't have an NDA problem.
