[Qt-creator] Installation on Mac OSX

Dear Qt Creator Creators,

I noticed that the installation script for Qt Creator on Mac OSX  
deviates from OSX standards (or at least customary behaviour). As you  
probably know most OSX applications are installed using drag and drop  
to the Applications folder. This action automatically prompts the user  
for his or her password to give permission to copy the application to  
the Applications folder. Installation scripts normally also prompt for  
a password but the Qt Creator installer does not. It simply refuses to  
install (due to lack of permissions). This makes it hard for users  
familiar with OSX to install Qt Creator. May I suggest to change this.

Kind regards,

Pim Schellart
