Description

When you run "Package as->Mac OS X Application", it creates a .app that has a symlink as the main executable. Attempting to sign it with `codesign` results in the following error:

the main executable or Info.plist must be a regular file (no symlinks, etc.)

This can be solved by calling the resulting script via bash (resulting in another instance of bash...) or cd-ing to the script directory and sourcing it.
