I’m not sure I understand what you mean.  The application bundle would be 
kicad.app.  Are you assuming that everyone will install the entire package 
directory in /Applications?  If so, you shouldn’t.  I, for one, only install 
the actual application bundle, kicad.app.  I thought that this was the point of 
Bernhard doing all the work of bundling everything, so that folks can simply do 
a drag and drop install of the application as is customary on OS X.  Assuming 
that I have a folder of stuff outside the bundle but in the applications folder 
breaks this.
