The instalation process is quite simple, drag the mozart icon to any
place in the system. We can change this a bit, we can tell the user to
move a "folder", containing the mozart application itself and the
examples and documentation folders. The idea of this folder is to have
an script that sets the appropriate variables according with its
location. To explain me better let me propouse the following

Mozart-1.3.2.dmg
|-> Mozart
     |->Mozart.app
     |->doc
     |->examples
     |->MozartCMDSetup.app
|->License
|->Etc.

With this setup the user should drag the entire Mozart folder to some
place, suppose /Applications. When this is done, the user runs
MozartCMDSetup which sets the acorresponding shell variables to use
mozart from the command line. In this way, we can take advantage that
the MozartCMDSetup.app resides in the same this as Mozart.app and we
can use pwd to get the path.

What do you think, if you agree i can add MozartCMDsetup.app for you to test.

Cheers,
