 A user on RT (ticket 28223) was unable to verify their Mac OS X Tor
 Browser download by following the instructions at
 https://www.torproject.org/docs/verifying-signatures.html, or the tutorial
 video linked from
 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html#downloads.

 The two issues reported are:

 * Both the written and video instructions still refer to .zip files,
 rather than the new .dmg files.

 * The command to run is given in the written tutorial as `gpg --verify
 /Users/Alice/TorBrowser-3.6.2-osx-i386-en-US.zip{.asc,}`; there is no
 explanation of the use of the name 'Alice'. Also, that path does not
 appear to point to the desktop, but the above text says "Assuming you
 downloaded the package and its signature to your Desktop...". Finally, the
 command assumes that the downloaded signature file is a .asc, but Safari
 will automatically save it as .asc.txt.
