mostly, there are now two applications with the same name visible to the
user, one works, the other doesn't

more technically there are two other steps in the build process which aren't
needed since we are doing bundles :

- the setting of the custom icon with SetFile, setting the type of the
single file exe to APPL, done with the  ...__mac_setfilecmd,
- the rezzing of .r resource files, done with the ...._mac_rezcmd

if we get rid of those two steps, the single file exe gets at least a
terminal screen icon, and is also reflected in the info dialog as being a
'unix executable', the risk of mistaking one for the other would already be
reduced, I'd think at least ;-)

Thanks,

Stefan
