2.0.0 can't be run from outside /Applications — at Initial Version

Description

VirtualBox 2.0 can't be run from anywhere other than the /Applications folder. This is a regression from 1.6, and poor behaviour for any OS X app.

Perhaps this restriction is to simplify the new update checks, but plenty of other Mac applications handle this properly... and even the ones that don't, still allow you to run the application from outside /Applications: they just install any updates into /Applications, rather than correctly over-writing the previous version.
