It's more Feedback than a Bug-Report. But what I am missing in this 
whole package is the chance to deselect some of the provided applications.
For example, my simple academic papers only need a basic 
TeX-Installation, include in that all packages so far mentioned on 
http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/%7Ekoch/texshop/installing.html

So installing Context and XeTeX is rather superfluous and locks up 
Diskspace, which is why a deinstalling feature inside the mpkg would be 
nice.
