LaunchAgents do not work as you might expect in Tiger (due to some
issues in the handling of bootstrap port namespaces IIRC). You will
probably want to avoid them.

For Tiger, there is an undocumented system login item plist. I forget
the details, but I believe DTS has some sample code for manipulating
it that they will give out on request.
