[Adium-devl] Let's abandon disk images

[Ofri Wolfus]

Another thing to remember is (if I'm not mistaken) .tar.bz will be  
decompressed by safari to .tar. The tar archive is what the user will  
see, and I bet most users will have no idea what to do with it. Also,  
if space is what worries us, .tar.bz will end up for the user with  
both files (.tar.bz and .tar) while internet enabled image is a  
single file.
