[Paraview] Build .app bundle on Mac OS X

[Mike Jackson]

If you do a "make install" the .app bundle should be built and  
include Qt and Python properly. There is some ongoing work to make  
this smoother but it should work with the current cvs, although I  
have not tried recently.


David Cole and myself were working on some new scripts but I don't  
think the scripts are ready for "prime time" yet. They do work on my  
particular setup, which is OS X 10.4.11 with Qt 4.3.4 as Frameworks.  
Python should be included on each OS X installation and there is some  
concern about including it in the app bundle that we have not worked  
out yet.

David can chime in with some more info..
