If you click on the "Features" link on the main page (the page you link to), 
it says, "You can create a single installer that is compatible with Windows 
95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 
Server 2003."

Even though the main page says Windows, I guess it works for all listed.  If 
it worked on Mac, it'd be perfect for me.  I'm still dealing with my own 
installer, in Java, written almost as an after thought, needing updates and 
more work -- and I've been too busy to update it.
