[TIP] Flexmock 0.7.3 released

[Herman Sheremetyev]

FYI: I compiled 2.3.5 on OSX 10.5, it runs with some warnings but it
was enough for me to determine that Flexmock is using too many
features that are from 2.4 and up (namely properties and static
methods in inner functions) so it definitely won't work on 2.3 or
below.

Cheers,

-Herman
