No clue - I added the "mythmetadatalookup" binary (...and requested support
libraries) to the app bundle.  There's a directory in the app
Mythfrontend.app/Contenst/Resources that should be the correct place to
drop lib or share files.

If it's missing any required python resources let me know which ones and I
can try to bundle them into the app in the future (I'm sure they get
installed while I'm building into my temp install directory somewhere.
It's just a matter of hunting and gathering, and occasionally linking the
bits in the app).

BTW - I added a page to the wiki to walk folks through the build process
