737 - Repeatedly asks for system.privilege.admin rights
Description
The Curse Client asks for system.privilege.admin rights ("Type your password to allow Curse Client to make changes"), but doesn't appear to need them – at least, the client appears to work just fine after I deny the request for admin rights. Neither the app nor any documentation I can find explain why the Curse Client wants admin privileges.
Reproduction Steps
Launch the client. (Version 4.0.0.297, MacOS X 10.6.2, Intel.)

I'll be fixing it to add a check to make sure it ignore working copy files for the permission checks.
