Hehehe, yes, I talked with Marco about that, and he told me that nobody asked for ppc version yet, and his binaries are i386+x64 so probably we shouldn't spent time on that as long as we provide the means to build.

Sent them to her, :D, she smiled ;)

Look to the patches/loader.sh on github, at this moment, all the libraries *.dylib and files go inside kicad.app/Frameworks/ and the other apps use them from there (../../../kicad.app/Frameworks) , wx and python-site mainly. 

Also there are the demos+modules+etc in kicad.app/Resources/ or something like that  that's what I was planning to pull out of kicad.app again and yet leave it findable for all the apps.
