Mozart application bundle for MacOs X

[Torsten Anders]

Dear Gustavo,

sorry for the delay, I finally tested your new version.

On my system (Mac OS X 10.4.10), no file ~/.mozartapp was written  
after the first startup and at every startup Mozart.app ask about the  
path issue.

Nevertheless, my ~/.profile file was updated accordingly (each  
time ;-) ). There seems to be a tiny issue: the PATH is set to  
SOMETHING/mozart-1.3.2/Mozart.app/Contents/Resources//bin (i.e. there  
are two slashes before the bin directory). However, it works anyway ;-)

Concerning the Emacs configuration file: in my ~/.emacs I don't have  
any "(require 'oz)", but I set OZHOME (see below for the exact code).  
So, Mozart.app did not show any warning but my ~/.emacs would have  
broken it because I overwrote OZHOME. Nevertheless, I feel this is a  
rare situation for Mac users looking for a drag-and-drop installation  
of Mozart ;-) So, perhaps it is sufficient just to put a warning in  
the documentation of Mozart.app.

Again, thanks for doing this work!!

Best
Torsten
