[PATCH] Start kdevelop on OS X

[Maximilian Kossick]

Hi,

on OS X kdevelop and kdev_starter are both installed as application
bundles. The patch below adds the code that is required to start
kdev_starter from kdevelop. Using that patch kdevelop actually starts
when clicking the icon.

The patch assumes that kdevelop.app and kdev_starter.app (the
application bundles for those applications, which are actually just
directories with a special .app suffix) are in the same directory.

Cheers,
Max
