Here's what I found in my experiments:

- xcode 3 doesn't support -arch
- If we don't specify arch we'll build whatever defaultS architectures
are set in the project file (which we could patch)
- bghudappkit doesn't build properly for PowerPC
- bghudappkit is now mandatory to build VLC
- we support MacOSX 10.5
- 10.5 SDK is NOT available in Xcode 4
- 10.5 is the last supported SDK for PowerPC

Conclusion:
The frameworks in contribs will not build automatically on 10.5 / xcode3
VLC for PowerPC is broken since the dependancy on BGHUDAppKit was
added months ago, and nobody noticed.

Suggestion:
Drop PowerPC support
Drop 10.5 support

Do we have stats on 10.5 and PowerPC usage?
