Because the source code for Update 4 is not yet released.  Its my
understanding that it will be sometime next week, but Landon's excellent
MacOS X had already waited long enough and I wanted to get it (and
other features like NetBSD/amd64 support) out before the tree potentially
destabilised due to Update 4 and FreeBSD/sparc64 hitting it.

Believe me, we would have loved to based this on Update 4, but it simply
wasn't a possibility without further delays.
