Summary:                    BundleUtilities (fixup_bundle_item): location checks
are too strict
Description: 
I try to build a package like this:

PREFIX/foo.app
      /bar.app
      /Frameworks/baz.framework

where baz.framework is used by both, foo and bar apps. Using BundleUtilities and
GetPrerequisites, I finally found the possibility to override the default
location of the fixed up libraries by implementing:

function(gp_item_default_embedded_path_override item path)
  if (APPLE)
    set(path "@executable_path/../../../Frameworks" PARENT_SCOPE)
  endif (APPLE)
endfunction(gp_item_default_embedded_path_override)

This works, the baz frameworks end up in PREFIX/Frameworks, but the fixup step
fails because the framework is not within the .app directory:
  message(FATAL_ERROR "cannot fixup an item that is not in the bundle...")

Where is the point that GetPrerequisites allows a user defined location of
frameworks - which may be outside the .app directory - and have BundleUtilities
insist on a location inside the same?
