OK. First I will explain what to do in the Wiki.
There are some linux apps which have been adapted into Mac OS X apps  
(such as Gimp or Inksckape). The only thing the user needs is to  
download the app, move the file (which is actually a directory but it's  
transparent for him) on his hard disk, and then double-click to launch  
it. I'm far to be able to do such a thing at the moment, but I will  
have a look to know if it is possible to do it for Demexp.

It's a lot better now. You can also add a link on demexp's web page  
(http://www.demexp.org/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=2) near the existing  
links to Windows, Linux, and Mac.
