I haven't looked at it in detail, but it seems to have potential. It
seems a little large (12 mb dmg) and its main goal seems to be as yo
mention X related apps.

It will likely work without Sage being an X app, but it also appears
that we can likely get the same result by using AppleScript directly.
We have some wiki page where we have collected info about turning Sage
into a more OSX like application, but I cannot find it at the moment.
If anybody remembers please add the info here to that page.
