As a service to unsuspecting Snow Leopard users, we should at least detect this situation and alert the user. Possibly using a technique similar to http://blogs.unity3d.com/2009/08/25/snow-leopards-64-bit-safari-and-unity/

As a work-around I added this to the launcher: "You may also download _projectfile.pr_ and open it in Etoys"
