1) Now that we're strictly producing an error out when a file is not
"inside" the bundle, fixing up a plain command line executable that is not
inside a bundle structure on the Mac has been made "ill defined"
(inadvertently...)

We do not have a test in the CMake test suite of calling fixup_bundle on
such a creature. If we did, I would have caught this immediately when making
that change.

As a possible workaround (not 100% certain it will work, but I think it
should), "pretend" your app is in a bundle simply by naming its containing
directory with a name ending in ".app". You could even fake it out by
renaming the directory to have the ".app", calling fixup_bundle, and then
renaming the dir back to its original name. This is a workaround (*cough*
hack *cough*), and only suggested so you can use it immediately if it works
for you...

In the meantime, this should be fixed to deal with this case on the Mac,
since it does essentially the same thing on Windows and Linux, where there
is no convention of a "bundle structure"...

We need a new test added that is shown to fail presently, and then a fix to
make it pass, while still maintaining all our other existing fixup_bundle
behavior.

2) You need to supply install rules for "dynamically loaded shared
libraries" (like plugins) -- fixup_bundle will only copy in files that it
determines are necessary based on otool -L output. It no longer copies in
the "${libs}" list as it used to in CMake 2.8.3 and earlier.

(Which is why we added the error message to 2.8.4 -- to explicitly call
attention to the fact that we inadvertently changed the behavior with one of
the bug fixes we allowed in the 2.8.3 release...)

Sorry for the hassle,
David
