Work around for Google Gears on Snow Leopard

As I talked about in by previous post, Google Gears is not compatible with Snow Leopard.  Google has been slow to get out a fix for the problem but seems like some others have found a work around and the guys from MailPlane have published how to use it.  It involves downloading the source code, applying a patch and then building a package, or you can just download the package from MailPlane, though they have a “Use at your own risk” disclaimer on it. You will also have to run Safari in 32bit mode. So if you are dieing to get your Google Gears back, especially in light of the gmail outage on September 1st, then try it out.  Let me know if you run in to any problems.
