Don't stick it in there since that one is dynamically created and will
not survive an -sdist.
The appropriate place at the moment would probably be in the ext repo,
but that repo will go away in the future. But we can deal with that
then since all the content from ext will migrate into some place under
devel modulo some bits that will end up in their own spkg.
The way I would do it is to stick all the needed bits into a tar.gz
and check that into the ext repo into some new directory like mac-app.
Then on -sdist a script would unpack that tar.gz, move the sage
install into the right place and then proceed with creating the dmg.

Yep, any email from a non-subscribed email will bounce.
