Can CMake create properly formed .app bundles for Mac from scratch? To my knowledge, it will install files into an existing .app bundle, but it won't create that bundle with all the necessary files -- icon files, Info.plist file, etc. (In part, this is a matter of creating the .app skeleton from resources in development/MacOSX.)
