Thats true, application bundles are a good option on the
Mac for applications and shared libraries,
command line tools would still be an issue.

Hmm..

Will a Qt/Cocoa binary even work without being packaged in an application bundle? I don't think so, but I might be wrong.

But I think you'll need to put your binary in a directory structure like

MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/myapp

and if that's the case, what's wrong with adding the Qt frameworks inside that bundle?

In other words, if you will be required to ship a directory structure anyway, it shouldn't make much difference to the end user what's in that structure.

But I've never shipped a statically-linked Mac GUI application. So I don't know.
