[CMake] RPATH on Mac

[Michael Jackson]

You need to process your executable with "install_name_tool" either manually or using the "BundleUtilities" functionality built into CMake. Note that there is a bug in the current CMake 2.8.4 that will NOT allow bundleUtilities to work on a command line type app. Your app MUST be in a .app bundle. If you search for BUndleUtilities on the Wiki there is a small Qt based project that shows a simple use of BundleUtilities.

Hope that helps.
