Hi,

Because I have the feeling that a simple AppleScript launcher (aka droplet) is
sufficient and pretty easy to maintain and modify I would like to propose a
solution that worked well for me:

Using the 'osacompile' command you can convert a plain ascii applescript file
into an application bundle including the droplet executable. This would allow
for simple CVS operations with the script. I added a new folder to the desktop
module that contains the applescript source file, the icons and a Info.plist
which contains a list of supported document types (extensions, mimetypes, icon
names). A corresponding makefile generates the bundle and copies the new
Info.plist and icons to the proper locations inside.
For simpler delivery to the solver the resulting bundle is tar'ed and has to be
untar'ed by the packager.
The build.lst and d.lst in desktop were modified, so that the droplet is built
and delivered correctly.

Finally, I modified fheckl's last packaging script to incorporate the new
droplet. When talking to ause about this process, he mentioned that we should
not use hard coded paths in the packaging script so I tried to pass some of the
required information from the makefile.mk in instsetoo_native/util. A few
things, however, are still missing.

If maho's script is better suited to support all platforms I will of course
adapt my solution to the changed script. 

The attachment conatins several files:
- patches for desktop and instsetoo_native and the modified create_OSX_dmg which
has to be placed in solenv/unxmacxp/bin
- desktop.zip which has to be unzipped in the desktop module directory and will
create the desktop/macosx/source/ folder structure where the applescript etc. 
lives.

BTW: I named the launcher just OpenOffice.org.app which I thought might be an
appropriate name...
