The last time we merged something in that broke Snow Leopard we got push back from the Homebrew guys so I'd rather let this bake a bit more and figure out where the Snow Leopard issue is. I'm in the process of installing Snow Leopard so I should have a chance to look at it.

Additionally, we'll want to test this on the FreeBSDs (finishing up installing a FreeBSD machine as well) since there is a behavior change for FreeBSD in this patch.
