I have all my libs/footprints/3d-models in my own local repository. I don’t care about wasting some bits and having default things in the bundle (if it doesn’t get too big), but I guess I don’t want them to show up and mix with my stuff.

This sounds like a fine idea so long as the things are read only.  I tend to treat the /Applications directory like /usr/bin.  In fact, I run as an unprivileged user and can't write in there by default.  It's really annoying when applications try to scribble in the bundle.

You should be able to use install_name_tool to change the library ID and the rpath in the executables at bundling time.

I have a pinch to zoom implementation that's not quite there yet, but I'd like to try to get it into the tree at some point.  It's currently hung up on the fact that it interacts poorly with the touchpad scrolling patches that I grabbed from somewhere.  Turns out those patches are buggy so I've been hacking that up.  If you have a different touchpad scrolling implementation, though, perhaps I should be using that instead.
