 Commands for installing .app bundles would be helpful. See for example how
 the tuxmath port does it at the moment.

 {{{
 post-destroot {
     xinstall -m 755 -d
 ${destroot}/Applications/MacPorts/TuxMath.app/Contents/MacOS
     ln -s ${prefix}/bin/tuxmath
 ${destroot}/Applications/MacPorts/TuxMath.app/Contents/MacOS/TuxMath
 }
 }}}

 This could be done like this:
 {{{
 app.install    yes
 app.name       TuxMath
 app.binary     ${prefix}/bin/tuxmath
 }}}

 Additional directives would be needed for inclusion of Resources etc.
 Also, a Info.plist with version information should be generated.
