[CMake] Creating a Mac bundle for an app dependent on Qt and ParaView

[Ben Medina]

FYI, this turned out to be user error. I somehow was starting with a
bundle that had been partially repaired, and fixup_bundle choked on
that. After I cleaned and rebuilt, fixup_bundle worked as expected.

Now if only it would copy qt_menu.nib....

Thanks,
Ben
