Apple's guidelines
(
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFileSystem/Articles/WhereToPutFiles.html
) don't explicitly say not to ever create subfolders in /Applications but the
only instances I know of where Apple creates them are Applescript, Utilities,
and iWork -- where multiple bundles are in the subfolder. All of the other
applications Mike listed either put things in those folders that Apple
recommends against (e.g., readme files, etc.) or had multiple bundles in the
folder. I'm just asking why there should be a folder with a single entry inside:
/Applications/CMake 2.6.0/CMake.app
instead of a bundle with a version number:
/Applications/CMake 2.6.app
or a bundle (like /Applications/CMake.app) that can be renamed to
include a version number if users want to install multiple copies.

Cool! I remember seeing traffic about the various linker issues
involved, but didn't know CMake had made it this far.
