fix for os x package builder script

Description

the build script in distrib/MacOS/mkinstaller has packagemaker hard coded for the /Developer/ location

newer installs of OS X, eg Lion and Mountain lion, have packagemaker installed separately,

so the most natural hard coded path for package maker (the shell command) would be /Applications/PackageMaker.app/Contents/MacOS/PackageMaker

i'm calling it a build system bug, though its more of a "package system" bug

is this something worth me generating a patch or no?

Sure, patches are always welcome :)

However, in this case, you'd be better off patching the Haskell Platform installer script (if it suffers from the same problem). Our plan is not to make installers for GHC itself any more, but to leave that to the HP folk.

reopening to get the updated mkinstaller script (attached) merged in.

I'll do the same with the haskell platform build folks, it looks like its (essentially) the exact same script, so it makes sense to update things on both sides

Now that we no longer use it, I've removed the script instead
