I have now arrived at a .dmg macOS installer that is building without errors on 
Jenkins. I have adapted the naming so that is is now also uploading to 
sourceforge where you can check it out.

Background: Any macOS dmg installer conventionally contains the package to be 
installed, any additional files/directores and a link to /Applications, the 
users Applications directory where all „normal“ applications reside. The 
installation process involve dragging the package and dropping at the link, 
that is the complete installation process.

To make the installer work  I had to make one change in addition to the naming; 
I realized that it is not possible (at least I failed it) to create a symbolic 
link to ~/Applications, i.e. to a directory in the (at the time of creating it, 
unknown) users home directory. I have created instead a link to /Applications, 
the users „normal“ application directory. I have amended the readme to this 
respect and explained how to install ooRexx in any other directory. Everything 
works as expected after install, even the man pages are detected. The macOS 
installer for ooRexx 5 now looks very much like any other macOS dmg installer.

If all (macOS) developers are fine with this I will leave it like this for now.

PS In the installer I have included a fresh copy of the documentation and an 
additional instruction on how to create a sudo-free USB version of ooRexx.
