After installing Leopard I found some issues that were preventing  
windmill from even starting much less launching Safari.

I worked through all the issues today and pushed a new Leopard  
compatibility release.

     * The TMPDIR environment variable changed dramatically which  
conflicted with a workaround we had for a perceived bug in firefox  
profile handling. We removed the workaround and everything works.
     * Leopard put the networksetup binary in /usr/sbin, which is a  
great thing because it's fairly useful and it took us forever to find  
it hidden inside CoreServices/ARDAgent.app . Updated our settings to  
find the new binary when the os version is 10.5 or greater.
     * Unfortunately networksetup -listnetworkserviceorder is broken  
in Leopard. I logged a bug with apple Problem ID: 5563663. In the mean  
time I replaced the service name resolution code with something that  
works without using networksetup -listnetworkserviceorder that works  
on 10.4 Tiger and Leopard.

Enjoy
