+    - Mac: Update backtrace to use entirely new code from Apple Developer 
+        Technical Support.  The format is now compatible with OS X's 
+        built-in Crash Reporter, and is ready for 64-bit Mac Intel 
+        applications (which will be available in OS 10.5).  If the backtrace 
+        is from a stripped application, the output of this new code can be 
+        run through a new shell script (available on Apple's web site) to 
+        add symbols to it from a separate symbol file - this is a very useful 
+        feature.  For details, see comments in mac_backtrace.h.
+        
+        Note: We build the PowerPC applications with GCC-3.3 to be backward 
+        compatible with OS 10.3.0 - 10.3.8, and GCC 3.3 does not support 
+        64-bit applications, and Apple discontinued production of PowerPC 
+        Macs in 2006, so this backtrace code does not support 64-bit PowerPC 
+        G5 applications.
