We provide an example of an alternate-user-interface plugin, but we don't
try to install it ;)

Hate to say it, but I've gone through this with several projects now, and
there seems to be an irreducible lower-limit on complexity.  You can use
that first link to browse through our entire distribution hierarchy, which
organizes packaging for all three platforms:

distribution/ - source packaging, automated tagging & changelog-generation
  osx/ - installation of OSX-specific 3rd-party dependencies
    bundle/ - generating bundles
    packagemaker/ - generating packagemaker packages
  posix/ - generating binary tarballs
  win32/ - installation of Win32-specific 3rd-party dependencies
    nsis/ - generating NSIS installers

The main observation is that the INSTALL() commands for 3rd-party
dependencies vary enough between platforms that we keep them separate.
Similarly, the resources for different packaging systems (packagemaker
supports a certain subset of HTML for readmes, NSIS requires a splash image
with specific dimensions, etc) are different enough that we keep them
separate, too.

Cheers,
Tim
