When I had id quake 3 running on OS X it had a modern (ran on tiger) 
installer, though it didn't copy the pak0.pk3. This was just the patch 
in a sit or whatever I got from id's ftp and mirrored at some point to 
i.o/q3.

Anyway, yeah it installed a directory in /Applications/ with a similar 
layout to windows/linux's quake 3 directories, but with a .app at the base.

I'd pretty much like to mirror that, since people are going to want to 
install mods and such, and yeah, I want this to work for the LCD of users...

So I still want to see exactly what Vincent has done, before coming to 
the conclusion that it is awful.
