Support for Mac OSX 10.5

I say drop 10.5 support. 

Any Mac OS X version older than 10.7 shouldn't be considered safe to use on the internet, because it is partially open source and there are no security updates provided for it. Meaning that hackers can tell exactly what is fixed and where the vulnerabilities of the old versions were. If anyone wish to use those old OSes, they are on their own.

Also, LC 6.5 and 6.6 won't disappear. If the file system doesn't change and the language doesn't change too much, it should be fairly simple to use those to brew a compatible version. And even if it does, we got to move on.
