Agreed

It would be nice to have a function allowing one to override/extend  
the default choice (which AFAIK is determined by asking otool about  
link-dependencies). Perhaps something like this:

set_external_framework_properties(
   ${QT_QTGUI_LIBRARY} PROPERTIES
   REQUIRE Resources/qt_menu.nib DESTINATION <APP_BUNDLE>/Resources
   REQUIRE Versions/Current/Headers DESTINATION <FRAMEWORK>
   )

which sets a few directory properties which then are used by  
fixup_bundle_item from the BundleUtilities for customizing the copied  
framework. The <APP_BUNDLE> and <FRAMEWORK> strings could resolve to  
the application-bundle being fixed up and the framework bundle  
directory, respectively.

I think it works fine with Qt 4.5 Carbon, not the Cocoa version.
