That *is* trivial: use Mac/BuildScript/build-installer.py on OSX 10.5.  Making sure that unrelated changes don't accidently break the OSX build can be non-trivial though...

That doesn't work with the py3k trunk at the moment, I just noticed that framework builds are broken there. I've filed issue #8441 for that and am working on a fix.
