Some comments I got from a guy on IRC:
- instead of letting the user enter resolutions as command line
parameters, give a user a drop-down list of resolutions to choose from
- don't default to fullscreen _and_ 1024x768, apparently no macs (or
mac screens) actually come with such native resolution
- just don't default to fullscreen at all
- it would be nice to have checkbox for the fullscreen option
- sound is choppy (on a machine with 4GB of ram and four 2.66GHz xeons)

Regarding the apple.com description: we currently don't have a working
multiplayer. Also, you should tell the apple.com visitors to contact
you directly about problems with the build, or if they want to use the
Pingus bugtracker (http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=pingus) then
they should explicitly put something like [MacOS] in the bug
subject/title. (Does the rest of the mailing list agree with this?)

Do you want me to host this and future files on my website? I already
have it at:
http://plouj.com/pingus/macos/Pingus-0.7.2-INTEL-2008-07-12-17:26.dmg

Thanks for your work.
