Fine with me as long as that properly allows the executables to run later.  I'm 
not on the latest Mac OS, so I won't be able to test it.

Even in the case of the .dmg, I think we should just unzip it and extract the 
AIR SDK.  I don't think we want to launch it.

OK, my sources say that ZIP format will be around for a while.  But don't
we have to switch to using DMG for Mac?  I don't know if the ZIP has Mac
versions of ADL and ADT in it.  And if we do just end up launching the
DMG, we might want to create a path for launching an EXE in case there is
an issue some day.

Thoughts?
