[Sparkle] Plan to support garbage collection?

[Andy Matuschak]

I had thought that a dual-mode framework could only be compiled for  
10.5, but people on here have told me that it works for 10.4+. I don't  
really understand how that's possible, so I'm skeptical. It may or may  
not actually work. :)
