Summary:                    Would like to specify a different default location
for OSX binary
Description: 
We don't  put our apps in the default location.  We have a change to 
cmTarget.cxx to make this happen.

We means I finally got permission to report changes my employer made to the code
base.

Additional Information: 
We defines a new property:

  cm->DefineProperty
    ("MACOSX_BUNDLE_BINARY_PATH", cmProperty::TARGET,
     "If unset, the actual linked binary is assumed to be in ",
     "appname.app/Contents/MacOS/appname, if set, then ",
     "appname.app/MACOSX_BUNDLE_BINARY_PATH/appname for iOS apps ",
     "setting this to the NULL string is currently the correct thing");

In cmTarget::NormalGetLocation we added some code to over ride the default
location:

  if(this->IsAppBundleOnApple())
    {
    this->Location += this->GetFullName(config, false);
    //
    // iOS binaries are not stored in contents/macos
    //
    const char* path_override = this->GetProperty( "MACOSX_BUNDLE_BINARY_PATH"
);
    if( path_override == NULL )
      {
      this->Location += ".app/Contents/MacOS/";
      }
    else
      {
      this->Location += ".app/";
      this->Location += path_override;
      if( *path_override )
        {
        this->Location += "/";
        }
      }
    }
