See the website for a description.  It was built to work with 10.4.8  
or later.  It was built using Apple's older GCC specifically to be  
compatible so does not contain any "illegal instructions" that only  
work on 10.8.x or later.  Besides, I've actually run it on the older  
systems without problem so I'm pretty confident you won't have an  
issue with it.
