The usual documentation on Mac OS is to embellish the disk image with a
background image that explains pictorially how to install, for instance
like this
/|\
/ | \ /==== To install:
\ | / | ==== Open this package
\|/ \==== and follow the instructions
platform-2010.2.0.0.pkg
Example applications:
Firefox

Adium
http://www.appleunited.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/adium.jpg
Skype

(Since these are application bundles, the installation procedure is
different from that of the Haskell Platform.)
