Hello,

MacOS X has this application bundling. An application binary goes  
into foo.app/Contents/MacOS/foo and the icon goes into foo.app/ 
Contents/Resources/ directory. There's foo.app/Contents/Info.plist  
XML file that tells what kind of resources (not only an application  
icon) are there in this foo.app/Contents/Resources/.

It is hidden from the user. The user sees foo.app as a single file  
that can be double-clicked and launched.

So yeah, pretty much KDE4/Mac would need such a CMake macro.

Regards,
