I prefer this to changing the bundle generator behavior.

I would nuance this to suggest that the current MACOSX_BUNDLE behavior 
blurs the line between building and packaging, which causes much of the 
confusion.  Arguably, a dmg+bundle IS-A package - so creating a bundle 
in the build directory is the wrong division of labor.  If there was 
NSIS-specific stuff that got created in the build directory every time 
you specified WIN32_EXECUTABLE, we'd be having the same sort of 
confusion on Win32.

Cheers,
Tim
