The big selling point on getting rid of dmg/mdmg is they're no longer necessary
since we have flat file pkg installers now. However, Leopard still uses them
(due to default of non-flat pkg).
Base will default to non-flat installers below 10.6 still. Under
src/package1.0:54:
default package.flat {[expr [vercmp $macosx_deployment_target 10.6] >= 0]}
If we can figure out why that is, then we can fix them on Leopard and axe
dmg/mdmg.
