What we want is a one-click installer, whatever that might be on OSX. Apple's official guidelines are to use a .dmg if all the installer needs to do is copy files. Otherwise a .pkg is required to run install scripts. I don't believe you can write to any folder but /Applications with a .dmg (which gets an exception for writing by non-root users). If DMD does need to run scripts or install to somewhere other than /Applications I highly recommend using Iceberg instead of PackageMaker (which in my opinion is absolutely terrible).
We'd need to add dmd to $PATH, I wonder how that could be done with a .pkg. Andrei
