[Paraview] Build .app bundle on Mac OS X

[Michael Wild]

Thanks, this worked, at least partially. I do get the .app with the  
frameworks included, but unfortunately, the install_name's of the  
libraries in the MacOS directory are the ones in the build tree, and  
not something like @executable_path/libxxx.dylib. I fixed this with:

cd paraview-3.3.0/paraview.app/Contents/MacOS
for l in *.dylib paraview; do for f in $(otool -L $l | grep  
"something_matching_your_build_dir" | awk '{print $1}'); do  
ff=@executable_path/$(basename $f); install_name_tool -change $f $ff  
$l; done; done
