I've attached our build_osx.sh script that will build a .app and package it
as a DMG.  We chose to include Perl and all the Wx libs rather than trying
to rely on any existing libraries on a machine. It makes the install file
fibber, but much more reliable.

For linux, we use makeself (http://megastep.org/makeself/) and for Windows,
we use Inno Setup (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php).

These build "launchers" for the various platforms that contain all the
platform specific binaries, etc.  Each launcher can then fetch all the Pure
Perl wxPerl code for the actual frames and dialogs using somethign like
LWP->mirror() as collections of PAR files.

Hope that helps.

Mike.
