Drop support for 32-bit or pre-10.6 Macs.

Also, some of the OSX build docs hadn't been updated since the autotools change.

It'd be preferable to use Qt 5.2 on Mac instead of Qt 4, as it fixes the high-dpi display blurriness.
gavinandresen commented at 3:38 PM on February 26, 2014:

I need somebody to tell me the magic incantation to either:

build Qt5 from source in a way that we can distribute (-openssl-linked ? static libs versus framework ?) or

compile against the downloaded Qt5 binary (distributed as a framework... I can't figure out how to get autotools to link against it)
laanwj commented at 3:53 PM on February 26, 2014:

Yes using Qt5 as frameworks was tricky. I remember someone on IRC was doing that. It is a matter of making sure that the configure script can find the pkg-tool .pc files. But he also had to edit the .pc files to fix the include path, as somehow that was wrong in the framework release.
