This patch doesn't seem to work. You're trying to resolve paths 
relative to wxGetCwd() for application resources.
KiCad will set CWD to point to the location of the project file, not 
the location of the executables.
Thus, your tests will always fail.

Note that I solved the path resolving under Mac in a different way in 
WinEDA_App::SetBinDir().

Also note that the Mac OS X binaries should follow the same packaging 
standard as under Windows, e.g:

/Applications/kicad/
/Applications/kicad/library
/Applications/kicad/help
/Applications/kicad/macosx/kicad.app
/Applications/kicad/macosx/eeschema.app
..etc.

The code handling paths is a bit hard to get an overview over, but 
AFAIU, the folder containing KiCad must be called "kicad".

I've included these changes into SVN.
Thanks for your efforts on the icons.
