Last time I mentioned this (as  windows user)
I was told (by Adrian or Stef?) they are usefull/required for Mac users
and it is easy for others platform users to throw them
away

So maybe we should first check with the mac users around
here before changing the one click distro

not me :)

I agree, we should avoid shipping with this garbage... I assume that with the automated builds from Hudson the problem will go away.

These are not really needed.
They make archives ugly for users on other systems, best to clean them unless there is a good reason to keep them.
