With a bit of work (otherwise known as cheating), I've got Rev 1.1.1
standalones to work in Panther.
I opened up an existing OS X app package, replaced the icon and app
files with mine, then manually edited the Info.plist and
InfoPlist.strings to point towards the correct new filenames.
A bit of a long-winded process but it works. If other people would
find it useful I can put up a zipped copy of the .app with basic
instructions on what to change in the files.
