Dependencies are hell - I'm glad I don't have to deal with them -  
thanks again for the job you're doing.

Tiger is not a development target of mine, so this is not a big issue  
for me at least (I just happen to have a Tiger machine).

I've tried building 2.20 and found the the following issues (if you'd  
specifically like me to have a crack at 2.90 I can give it go this  
weekend):

1) the libtiff repository is unresponsive.

*** Checking out libtiff *** [8/17]
curl --continue-at - -L ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/ 
tiff-3.9.1.tar.gz -o /Volumes/Vault/tmp/gtk/source/pkgs/ 
tiff-3.9.1.tar.gz

curl: (56) FTP response reading failed

2) OS X 10.4 barfs on NSUInteger:
