Comment:

 The problem with this is it will no longer install into ${prefix}/bin,
 where all existing users are expecting to find it.

 We typically let the program build and install into ${prefix}/bin as
 normal, then in post-destroot, create an app bundle and a symlink inside
 it pointing to the binary in ${prefix}/bin.

 We also typically use the makeicns program (from the makeicns port) to
 make an icns file out of a png included with the project, if available,
 rather than distribute the port with a prebuilt icns file which is much
 larger.
