Creating a Subsurface bundle

install gtk-mac-bundler (this has been tested with version 0.7.0) and run

gtk-mac-bundler subsurface.bundle

This should install a self-contained Subsurface application under /Applications/Subsurface.app
You still need to manually build a DMG if you want to easily distribute this.

One important caveat is that (at least with MacPorts) you need to build pango like this:

sudo port install pango +builtin_modules +no_x11 +quart

Without the builtin modules the installed application fails to find the modules and doesn't render any text.
Add packaging files for MacOS I couldn't figure out how the current packaging infrastructure was supposed to work, but with not too much work I could get the more standard gtk-mac-bundler to do what I wanted, so I added the support files needed for that and a little README on how to use them. The subsurface.sh and subsurface.bundle files are based on the launcher.sh and gtk-demo.bundle files from the gtk-mac-bundler release which is under GPLv2.
