Simplifying a little, the Mac installer does a 'python setup.py install'
for each package or plugin into a build directory and then runs the the
installer-maker using that build directory as if it were the root of the
filesystem. i.e. it contains
/Library/Frameworks/Python/2.6/site-packages/bzrlib, etc.

There's a separate script which handles downloading specific tarballs or
checking out specific revisions of branches from launchpad (and then
tarballing them).

Ciao,
