Way to auto-run an installer when mounting internet-enabled DMG?

[Kee Nethery]

I agree with all the previous comments. Opening the dmg automatically  
is something you can desire, but it is also something I as a user can  
turn off in my browser (and being security paranoid, I do). Getting  
the application to auto-install from the dmg is a security violation  
that Mac OS X actively tries to prevent from happening. If your  
installation is a drag and drop into the Applications folder, you  
really don't need an auto-installer.
