[PD-dev] Mac SDK version for externals

[Alex]

using my cmake setup in the jit_expr project I was able to build just now
for 10.9 but no lower, going below 10.9 didn't allow it to find the
std::shared_ptr
maybe I can get lower somehow? Either way, this should be more useful for
more people :)

Thanks for the info Dan!
