Most Mac applications come in a dmg with an arrow pointing to a symlink of
Applications. I have taken one of the dmg's and added the necessary files
to make this work:

http://unhyperbolic.org/macSage/
Could we change the sage Mac distribution to be like that?
All that is necessary is copying two files (.DT_store and
.background/background.png) to the directory from which the dmg is created
by hditutil in local/bin/sage-bdist.
I got the background image above from the Apache project, we should
probably design one for sage, for some inspiration, here is the FireFox
one:
