What if the GUI is never launched?   I really think we need a full 
installer for CMake.  It is not a self contained GUI application. I 
think we need a managed install:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/SoftwareDistribution/Managed_Installs/chapter_5_section_1.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000145i-CH6-SW8

Just because it uses a managed install process does not mean it is not a 
first class OS X application.  Xcode uses the same installer we use for 
CMake, as do many other projects.  Simple self contained GUI apps can be 
dragged and dropped for install, but when you have a mix of GUI and 
command line tools and PATH issues, I think you have to use a more 
sophisticated installer.  We are using the Apple provided installer, so 
it must sort of be an OS X application...

Both BBEdit and Textmate are strictly GUI apps as far as I can tell.
