Scott,
Let us know what you find out!
I would like a Mac installer which would do the following:

1) Create an Internet compatible DMG
2) Create an install finder window like:

3) Display the README.txt and LICENSE.txt files BEFORE allowing install
(with checkboxes of course)
4) Extra bonus points if it actually installs anything. For some reason,
Apple thinks mounting a DMG as a volume is the same as installing an
application. Unless one knows to drag/drop the contents TO the APPS folder,
the program is GONE next reboot (not to mention it is a write-only
partition). An installer, which installs (like every other platform uses)
would be nice.
