Thanks for the report.

- I'll discuss the PPC issue with Charlie.
  I believe the thinking is that anyone who's going to run BOINC
  on a PPC Mac is already doing so and won't need to upgrade.

- There is in fact only 1 Android version,
  which contains separate executables for ARM, MIPS, and x86.
  Listing these as separate platforms was an oversight; I fixed this.

- I added links to the Vbox versions on the all_platforms page,
  and fixed the truncated-page problem.

- I fixed the problem with "dev=x" in download_all.php

- I fixed the problem with saying "save to disk" etc. on the Android page

I'm guessing the new version checks won't work quite right with this
change. And why did you remove OS X PowerPC versions from the page? There
are still some PowerPC users out there and some projects still have apps
for it. Even if the PowerPC versions aren't the latests and greatests why
not leave them there for those who need or can use them?

And now that I got started.

If you visit the download.php page with an Android browser the page offers
you ARM versions even if you are on x86 or MIPS platforms. (The page says
'Android/ARM' even if the binary is the same for all Android versions.)
(download.php lines 206-210)
And the page tells you to save the APK to disk etc. (different platform
strings in download.php lines 130, 154 and 210)
The all_platforms[1] page (the one you get if the page doesn't recognize
your platform) doesn't include Android or Windows+VBox versions.
(download.php lines 136-153)
And looks like the page crashes after printing the table.

Docs[2] say you can get the download_all.php page without Dev versions but
that's not true. The page is hard-coded to include Dev versions when it's
not outputting XML. (download_all.php line 25)
