[SDL] OS X 10.3.9 compat

[Chris Backas]

Universal binaries (really fat binaries) have been part of the format  
on OS X since the beginning. That said, there were a number of system  
libraries and utilities that freaked out if they actually say one  
(IE: Disk Utility).

10.3.9 was updated to tolerate them better though, and to support the  
newer GCC shipping in Tiger. So it's relatively trivial to build a  
Universal binary that supports 10.3.9+ on PPC and 10.4+ on Intel.

Of course, I'm not in a position to have any say on SDL's release  
policies, but IIRC the current XCode project they provide builds for  
10.2.8+ on PPC and 10.4+ on Intel.

Maybe someone more official can speak to this though =)
