[SciPy-Dev] dropping OS X dmg installers

[Ralf Gommers]

Hi,

When updating the build scripts and release docs for 0.16.x I realized that:
- the DMG installers haven't been built for 0.14.1 and 0.15.x
- we didn't officially decide this AFAIK, but no one complained
- the wheels we now have on pip for OS X are more general than the DMG
installers; the latter only work with python.org Python.
- wheels are also easier to build [1] and test [2] (thanks Matthew!)

So shall we make it official that we won't build any more DMG installers
for releases?

Ralf
