Oops, I spoke too soon. I tried your latest drop (6 hrs ago) with its
.pkg installer, and it also fails to install on Snow Leopard.

Is OpenJDK really not going to be supported on Snow Leopard? Lion has
only been out for *nine months*.

I run Snow Leopard. It will make my life and the life of my users much
more complicated if they can't run Java 7 + invokedynamic anywhere but
Lion.
