Gatekeeper on MacOS 10.7 - Michael Hall

Dear Mike

Just downloaded launcher.dmg but without any included explanations have no idea 
what to do with it.  Then went to the supplied "halfpipe" link, but the 
language is completely unintelligible to me.  Is it intended that this project 
will lead to something useable by people who know how to program in Java but 
are completely unfamiliar with the nitty gritty of Mac OS X and UNIX?

For example, on Windows, there is (among others) Launch4j which builds a launch 
exe using an interface which asks all the relevant questions in fairly plain 
language, and there is (among others) InnoSetup, which builds an installer when 
provided with an easy-to-write script and which has built-in help for writing 
that script.

It is easy to use the above to deploy either with or without a bundled JRE.  
Difference is a factor of about 50x in the size of the installer the user needs 
to download, and the consequent amount of space needed on the user's system.  
Believe it or not, many users do not have fast broadband with large download 
quota per month.
