Hi,

I have put together a generic packaging script for OS X (pkg/dmg), and created basic binary Installer packages for PowerPC and Intel. It's meant only for distributing the generic binary distribution, analogous to any other UNIX binary package. A small addition is a script which installs an OS X launchd service, net.openvpn.

The binary package can be combined with a separate per-client key pkg that installs configuration and keys and starts the launchd service (scripts also available for this, in key-package directory).

This may help people with simple deployments that include OS X clients. I have not linked to built packages, on the theory that there's little reason you should trust my builds. (If you have the Apple Developer Tools, and archives for openvpn and lzo, then creating the binary packages and disk image yourself, for whatever architecture you run, is as simple as 'make dmg'. Package build, install and run have been tested on 32-bit PowerPC and Intel.)

cc'd devel list in case there is any interest in adopting the packaging script(s), perhaps as contrib?
