In itself Pd-0.43.1-double-20111007-macosx106-x86_64.dmg runs without
trouble on OSX 10.5. But:

- preference file org.puredata.pd.plist is read, this is vanilla's
preference file
- therefore, no external libs loaded at startup

For the moment, this may be an advantage. If we make test patches
using namespaces for all external objects, like [zexy/limiter] etc,
these patches will load the correct object for any Pd-extended install
on the computer. When loading libs with help of the preference file,
this is not guaranteed.* The only disadvantage is, you can not load an
arbitrary patch which does not use namespaces.
