My understanding is there's "supported", as in our software will build  
there, and then there's "platforms we produce releases for".  Maybe we  
support Dapper and Gutsy, but if you look at the actual downloads  
directory for the 0.7.3 release:

There are only "intel-osx, linux, ppc, and win" variants (and "src").   
If we were to produce *both* Dapper and Gutsy-built releases to the  
public, wouldn't we see multiple variants in this tree?  I don't think  
we're doing anything whacky like having the tarball be on Dapper and  
the deb on Gutsy, are we?

But I do see now that ther's both intel-osx and intel-os-leopard, so I  
do need to add both dev-imac1 and dev-imac3 to cover both those.  A  
brief explanation of why we produce both would be helpful.

Based on the above set of releases, it looks like 5 machines were  
used, each generating a release and debug version.  Only one Linux.

So the *newest* proposed list of build machines for 0.7.4-rc1 is:

- maunaloa (Ubuntu Gutsy)
- hilo (WinXP)
- ahukini (OS X 10.4 PPC)
- dev-imac1 (OS X 10.4 Intel)
- dev-imac3 (OS X 10.5 Intel)
