Hello! Today I have released the first (early WIP) version of GiftWrap - my API extension & wrapper, which intends to allow some software that requires newer OS X versions to work on older systems.

For example, I have managed to run Mountain (a tool for managing & mounting external disks, network drives, etc) which requires OS X 10.8 on my MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 using GiftWrap.

You can download the source code at https://github.com/dotexe1337/GiftWrap
Currently, you will have to build it yourself and manually install it into an application binary. I recommend to back up your application first in case anything goes wrong.
There are text files in the repo named howto_build.txt and howto_install.txt with instructions.
