Amazing!

Hi, I have a branch with a bunch of scripts to ease the build of the
installers (as mentioned in a previous email)

In the branch there is a lot of stuff to download depedencies,
plugins, etc and build the packages, docs, and also to generate the
DMG.

Looks like you know a thing or two about building installer ;)
It would be great if you can include this way of building it as part
of the scripts included in
https://code.launchpad.net/~verterok/bzr/OSX-10.4-dmg so we finally
get an automated way to build the installer itself

If you don't have the time to integrate your stuff, please push a
branch of you own, I'ld really like to take a look to ti.

Regards,
