[V4RB] Vcomponents in package

[Stan Busk]

Do you know what I do when I download a Mac app and I get an  
installer? I throw it directly to the trash. Mac users don't expect  
installers, it is very big error to think they will don't mind. Your  
sales will go down rapidly. I only allow installers for tools or when  
they are done by people like Adobe... I am not Adobe so I guess many  
users will not bother running my installers. I think it is better to  
throw VComponent stuff to the application folder even getting a  
caotic application folder, only drawback, you can't move the  
application alone...
