Latest PPC version?

[Cadeon]

I still have an old dual G5 on Leopard. I'd love to use it to do my iFlicksing. 

I understand the newer XCodes won't build for PPC- so even if the code could be cross-compiled, the IDE won't do it. So I'm left with using an old build, which is sub optimal, or using iFlicks from my macbook, which I don't really want to do either. The G5 is on all day anyhow, so speed isn't that much of an issue.

Two questions:

1) What is / Where can I get the most recent *PPC* version?

2) If I were to donate a PPC machine or machine time on my G5 (which has all the dev tools as I do a little programming myself) could we attempt to build a newer PPC version?

The latest version you can get to run on PPC is 1.2.3 from http://www.iflicksapp.com/download/iFlicks_1.2.3_724.dmg

This will hardly work for multiple reasons:

- iFlicks uses many features that require Snow Leopard

- To build for PPC, Xcode 3.x is required, but all iFlicks projects are completely ported to 4.x

I imagine 1.2.3 will do the vast majority of what I'd like to do... that said, I don't feel the PPC platform is quite dead yet. If there's any way I can help keep it around, I'm willing to try. If you ever feel like making an attempt, let me know. :)
