No, not at all. Read the links I posted, in particular the one about
porting Linux apps. There are bits of magic here:
- LaunchServices
- Framework/bundle linking
- Internet enabled DMGs
Anyway, I'm not suggesting we implement appfolders like Apple did. We can
do better (and don't have much choice anyway). See here:
http://autopackage.org/ui-vision.html
That describes how to implement a Mac style UI on top of Linux style
package management.
