[CMake] Packaging dylibs into app bundles

[Stephen McDowell]

Hi Harry,

I don't know how useful this will be, but the Instant Meshes application
creates an app bundle that has always worked reliably for me. Looking at
the code, it doesn't appear like there's much custom stuff going on either.
It starts here

https://github.com/wjakob/instant-meshes/blob/011fa44ab72037cbc16535090a63ead41963c1e5/CMakeLists.txt#L151

And there's an if APPLE block below that appears to be the core.

Hope that is useful :) I've never actually done this for any of my own
projects though. And I'm pretty sure them setting the underlying GUI
library and TBB to be static (as opposed to shared) is skirting around the
issue that you are trying to solve (dylib stuff)...
