This script would have exactly the same functionality as that within the source
tree, only it would look for the frameworks on the disk image?  How would it
behave if you move the pieces off the disk image?  Hrm, now that I think about
it...  DroseraLauncher.app simply locates WebKit.app and uses a path relative
to its bundle.  That should be a workable approach.

Another idea for this could be an application that builds WebKit.app-style
wrappers.  Point it at an application bundle, it generates a launcher based on
it that includes the nightly frameworks and will launch the main application
with those frameworks when run.
