TGB1.1 Mac - Why Installer?

I've been able to drop my B4 source into the latest RC without a problem, but one thing that bugged me with the RC version. Why the heck was an "installer" added? It's completely superfluous under OSX got the most part. One otherm minor thing is installing and then renaming the folder causes the aliases to break, which is atypical behavior.

Minor nits though, it's shaping up really, really nicely!

We're using a particular brand new feature of the BitRock installer.
More info when we launch TGB.

When TGB final ships, is there any chance that there will be a zipped build in addition to the installers ? I don't care what OS the "zip" is intended for, e.g. if the linux build is a tarball with no installer then that'll do.
