[nzlug] Creating OSX .dmg files in Linux

[Liam Farr]

I've never seen someone distribute an OS X program as an iso before, DMGs
have a nice auto mount on download feature (I don't know if ISOs do this),
and they can also show a license agreement page before mounting. IMHO if you
can DMGs working it would be preferable as it's what mac users expect as
standard.
