[CMake] Problems with Apple OSX Bundles

[David Cole]

Brad did some work recently where these properties can be specified as
target properties rather than global CMake variables like this. See CVS (or
2.6) cmake --help-properties for this information:

  MACOSX_BUNDLE
       Build an executable as an application bundle on Mac OS X.

       When this property is set to true the executable when built on Mac OS
       X will be created as an application bundle.  This makes it a GUI
       executable that can be launched from the Finder.

       The bundle Info.plist file is generated automatically.  The following
       target properties may be set to specify its content:
       MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_STRING

         MACOSX_BUNDLE_ICON_FILE
         MACOSX_BUNDLE_GUI_IDENTIFIER
         MACOSX_BUNDLE_LONG_VERSION_STRING
         MACOSX_BUNDLE_BUNDLE_NAME
         MACOSX_BUNDLE_SHORT_VERSION_STRING
         MACOSX_BUNDLE_BUNDLE_VERSION
         MACOSX_BUNDLE_COPYRIGHT

If you are using CMake 2.6 (or CVS CMake) then try using
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES instead of setting the variables directly.
