Freezes up

[abs1nth]

Maybe it would help to add a little something to the install instructions so its clear that all the things must be copied, not just the application.

it's already explained quite clear in the ReadMe / FAQ, also 90% of all Mac-apps are installed in the same way, so i doubt there is much room for improvement on our side.

well 2 things come to mind:
• if vdrift can't find it's data folder it should perhaps pop up a helpful dialogue instead of "freezing up" (this is pretty much a cross-platform issue)
• we could place the data folder inside the so-called "application bundle" (on mac os x) so that vdrift appears as one big self-contained executable, but that would make it more difficult to add new cars, etc.

[well thats not a big issue since there are no addon-cars floating around and anyone capable enough to create additional content should also be able to open the application-bundle to locate the data-folder. we could also do it like wesnoth (which has an excellent mac-port) and display menu-items to "reveal" the data folder when running windowed. there should be no problems with upgrades as we don't provide data-diffs and always necessitate full-downloads anyway]

i think i'll make this change so this issue can't come-up again... (if there are no objections)

btw. SDL 1.2.10 (and satellite-libraries) was released yesterday and i'll switch the mac-port soon
