[swfmill] [help needed] release script for OSX universal binaries

[Dan Shryock]

If I recall correctly, a universal binary isn't actually a single file, it
is multiple executable files stored in side of an app bundle under
Contents/MacOS/ and then referenced in the Contents/Info.plist.  I think the
first place to look is at the format of Info.plist for app bundles, that
should tell you some info on what meta is needed to consider something a
universal binary.  Oh, and if that is the case, it would almost be pointless
becase an app bundle is specifically for when an application has a gui,
which would mean there is no point for swfmill.  Hope this helps.
