Hallo Bertrand

I have not yet succeeded in everything with our app, but hopefully it
saves you a bit of time while we work it out together.

Have a look at the setup.py file for Virtaal:
http://translate.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/translate/src/trunk/virtaal/setup.py

Look for 'py2app' and 'darwin' to find the osx-specific bits. That is
the biggest part about making an installable .dmg file. Also see the
last comment lines in the file.

I am definitely not saying that everything in there is the right way,
but this is how far I have gotten with very little time. I have not so
far used the X11 version of GTK+, but newer the standalone version.

I hope we can figure things out together.

Keep well
Friedel
