This might seem harsh to Windows users, but this is very close to the
pattern of other Mac applications that I've seen.  Each time they
update the application to a new minor versoin release number they drop
support for the oldest supported version of OS X and add support for
the newest version, like your previously outlined idea of 1.2 - 1.4 of
the application.  Sounds like a wonderful plan!
