Problem: If somebody is not using Safari (if, for example, they are  
using Firefox because they are a Windows expatriate), the magic that  
comes with an inet-enabled disk image doesn't happen. It behaves as  
any other disk image, which would leave us back in the pre-symlink  
days for those non-Safari users.

The other way is to keep the symlink — that is, keep everything we  
have now and throw inet-enabling on top. This sucks for the Safari  
users: they get a folder with everything in it, rather than a nice  
Adium.app that they can use right away.

The ideal solution would be to serve up separate disk images based on  
User-Agent, but I doubt we can do that with CacheFly.

Damn. I liked that idea.
