Growl is a fairly ubiquitous system-wide notification utility for Mac OS X. Many apps use it to inform the user when an event of interest occurs. My most common use is in Gyazmail, which issues a Growl notification when an email arrives that it can't reliably classify as spam or nonspam.
Notice that the word "Growl" in my first sentence above is not a link to the product site. That's because the link is down for a couple days. (Just when I wanted to upgrade to a universal binary version for use with my new MacBook Pro.)
Probably too soon to really speculate on this, but it makes me wonder if Apple is doing some kind of deal with the Growl team for inclusion in Leopard. The mysterious disappearance of a product's Web site has often been an indicator of that kind of thing.
If it happens, well, You Heard It Here First. I can find no other online reference to this possibility.
