Lucky you.

I took no source at all in the end. I downloaded the prebuilt Arduino
IDE (version 21), downloaded the prebuild CrossPack, and put the
second in the first.

Just tried, it works ! Note that on the Mac it goes on
$HOME/Documents/Arduino/hardware/.

ZIP in well integrated in OSX (right click->archive creates a .zip).
But the mac handles tar.gz and tar.bz2 too. ZIP sound more friendly to
most people. DMG are also used for larger packages, but for that
matter it's overkill.

I'll try that later.
