The RunRev 4 standalone builder CAN churn out PPC, FAT ('Universal') and
INTEL
apps all at once; 2 out of 3, or only 1.

It would be nice if Metacard 4 could do much the same.

I think subfolders called MACPPC, MACMIXT/FAT/UNIVERSAL/CONFUSING and
MACINTEL would be useful for stupid types like me who might have forgotten
which
types of standalones they had chosen to spin off.
