New description:
The buildbots are using a script, originally written by William, to
produce the binaries. It automatically builds a "Mac App" on OS X and
chooses a meaningful name for the binary.
Some version of this script should be added to Sage itself, I propose to
call it {{{sage-autobdist}}}. Then {{{sage-bdist}}} can handle the low-
level stuff of actually building the binary.
I'm adding the script as reference, but it needs some work to integrate it
in Sage.
