Quick hack:
"makebundle.sh"
#!/bin/sh
#
# Make a bundle from an executable
#
if test $# != 1; then
echo Usage: makebundle.sh filename
exit 1
fi
name="$1"
id=`echo $name | tr ' ' '_'`
# Make the bundle directory and move the executable there
rm -rf "$name.app/Contents/MacOS"
mkdir -p "$name.app/Contents/MacOS"
mv "$name" "$name.app/Contents/MacOS"
# Make a shell script that runs the bundled executable
echo "#!/bin/sh" >"$name"
echo "exec '$name.app/Contents/MacOS/$name'" '$*' >>"$name"
chmod +x "$name"
# Make the simplest Info.plist needed for an application
cat >"$name.app/Contents/Info.plist" <<EOF
