[V4MD] Classic and OS X projectors

[Nathan Friesen]

I did think about making a bundle, but that still wouldn't have solved  
my problem of accessing the common assets. And, like you said, pre-OS  
8.6 wouldn't support the bundle, so it would need a separate  
application, or alias. Thanks for the suggestion, though. If we weren't  
supporting pre-8.6 then it would have at least cleaned things up on the  
CD.
