[Adam Wolf <adamwolf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have fixed the issue with the standalone apps not working right.  Jenkins
doesn't preserve symlinks when copying artifacts from one job to another
(like the MacBuild job to the MacPackage job).

I just triggered a clean build and package, and I'll upload it to Dropbox
as a snapshot for dev folks to look at.
