Making installers is very easy for OS X. Developer tools makes this as
simle as dropping your files onto an icon! OS 9 isn't as fun but some of
the java installers that I use make this less painful. I'd be interested
in producing an installer system for Mac using the open-bio tools we've
put together (Plus I'm good at writing pesky installers ;) ).
