Qt Mac Deployment

This is somewhat academic from my ancient PPC machine as all the dylibs are only PPC anyhow and it would be difficult to find a machine to deploy to:

simon:Frameworks blyth$ file libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib
libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc
simon:Frameworks blyth$ file libdbus-1.3.dylib
libdbus-1.3.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc

To switch off the bundling:

CONFIG-=app_bundle

macdeployqt tool

simon:meshlab blyth$ which macdeployqt
/opt/local/bin/macdeployqt
simon:meshlab blyth$ macdeployqt -h
Usage: macdeployqt app-bundle [options]

Options:
   -verbose=<0-3>     : 0 = no output, 1 = error/warning (default), 2 = normal, 3 = debug
   -no-plugins        : Skip plugin deployment
   -dmg               : Create a .dmg disk image
   -no-strip          : Don't run 'strip' on the binaries
   -use-debug-libs    : Deploy with debug versions of frameworks and plugins (implies -no-strip)
   -executable=<path> : Let the given executable use the deployed frameworks too

macdeployqt takes an application bundle as input and makes it
self-contained by copying in the Qt frameworks and plugins that
the application uses.

Plugins related to a framework are copied in with the
framework. The accessibilty, image formats, and text codec
plugins are always copied, unless "-no-plugins" is specified.

See the "Deploying an Application on Qt/Mac" topic in the
documentation for more information about deployment on Mac OS X.

Possible workaround is to use -no-opensll option with Qt (qmake presumably).
