For Mac OS X the most `mac-like' way to do installation of more than
a single .app directory is with an installer package - a .pkg, .mpkg,
or .dist file - which can be created with PackageMaker.app which is
installed with the Developer Tools at /Developer/Applications/
Utilities/PackageMaker.app. Unless you're doing something quite
involved you can probably get away with a simple .pkg file. When the
user double-clicks this package it will be launched by Installer.app
which is on every Mac OS X drive, even if the user hasn't installed
the developer tools, at /Applications/Utilities. PackageMaker.app is
pretty straightforward to use and there is pretty good documentation
linked to in PackageMaker's Help menu.
