[CMake] Cmake/MacPackaging

[David Cole]

Is your application an X11 app? If not, you should not need the OSXX11
generator. (And if so, you probably don't need the PackageMaker
generator...?)

The OSXX11 generator gives you a wrapper application that sets up the X11
environment and then launches your X11 app. That way, end users can just
double click on your bundle and X gets started automatically if necessary.
But if your app is not an X11 app, you don't need this...


HTH,
David
