A good starting point for this is to just copy snowleopard.platform over
to leopard.platform which I will do presently. I have difficulty
maintaining platforms I don't have access to or which I have upgraded
from. (Leopard to Snow Leopard in this case.)

I started this process once, but got discouraged by the work involved. I
think I will try it again, starting this time with only the bare minimal
prerequisites for fenics.
