you mean in the installer panels? that's art ;) a designing judgement call

i currently don't intend to go this extra mile. doubleclicking seems to work 
fine and osx install java automagically if missing.

i reverted that. now the app lands on the desktop. the installer does not ask 
where to put it anymore, macstyle.

i guess we should promote the installers once they are released. i intend to 
create

Install_OJ*.jar (all platforms)
Install_OJ*.exe (windows)

and we'll still have 

OJ*.zip (all platform zip)

taking into account that we will have two editions this will amount to 6 files.
