[MacDV] Updating iMovie 3.0.1. to 3.0.2

[markflo at mac.com]

You probably need to move the iMovie 3 app into the root level of the
"Applications" folder and make sure it's named "iMovie".  Seems like such a
Windoze-type issue, huh?  :-\  The updater ought to be "smart" enough to
find the app to be updated, no matter where it is on the hard drive, but
such is progress (Mac OS X).
