Changes (by kcrisman):

  * component:  packages => distribution


Comment:

 Even better would be if we could document how to use Xcode and
 InterfaceBuilder directly to do something like this (as opposed to the
 black box of Platypus.  "Platypus creates applications with a special
 binary that launches a specified script and captures its output."  One
 nice thing about it, on the other hand, is it should be able to easily
 create something that would take a .sage, .sws, or .py file and run it
 just by dropping it on the icon.

 We should also have some sort of environment variable that would ask the
 user on start if they want notebook or command line, or something like
 that.  But of course now we're beyond this ticket; just recording the idea
 for now.

 Also note that this doesn't affect most users, since we are not bdist-ing
 the app bundle by default yet.  Since this is really about the
 distribution of Sage in Mac, I'm also changing the component accordingly.
