Application wrapper for Mac OS X: msg#00017

Subject: Application wrapper for Mac OS X
Just to update you guys, I'm working on a wrapper that lets you pack
your wxPerl application inside an .app bundle on Mac OS X. So far, the
work flow is like this:

- Create a duplicate of my PerlWrapper project
- Copy your perl source code and libs into perl-source/
- Make sure your main perl file is called main.pl and exits with a
 true value (I'm using require)
- Copy additional perl libs into perl-libs/
- Set application name
- Add your icon
- Compile

It works nicely so far; I've added localizations for all languages
supported by Mac OS X so that folder names in dialogs and the app menu
appear localized. There is still a disabled "About" entry that appears
in the app menu; I guess this is WxWidgets' fault.

I haven't yet tackled the task of including the dynamic WxWidgets
libraries inside the app bundle, so WxWidgets still needs to be
installed. Any hints on how to accomplish that would be most welcome.

Greetings,
  Christian
