They better explain why they don't support pre 10.5 - mmmgood

1. The Video LAN project has no obligations to anyone. This is free software.

2. If you're using an older operating system, use an older version of VLC.

I can try to explain, I found this during my failed attempts to build VLC 1.0 (but really not VLC itself, but llvm-gcc42) on OS X Tiger.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. https://trac.macports.org/ticket/20349

VLC also now depends on llvm-gcc42, which doesn't currently build on Mac OS X 10.4; see #19262.

LLVM 2.3 was the last release that was qualified on Tiger. We need members
from the community to step up an maintain LLVM and llvm-gcc on Tiger. I no
longer have a Tiger machine when doing releases.

So the actual problem is unability to compile LLVM 2.5 on Tiger using Tiger Xcode's gcc.
