What if we included the .app skeleton in CVS, eg. parallel to 
scribus.desktop
and scribus.lsm?
Also we could just ./configure --prefix=$DIR/Scripus.app/Contents ...
and include a symbolic link from Scribus.app/Contents/MacOS/scribus to
Scribus.ap/Contents/bin/scribus

So 70MB + 30MB + 4,5 MB + 14 MB makes 118,5 MB.

Stripping scribus reduces it to 4.4 MB (-65 MB) but then the plugins 
don't work any more.
Similar effects could be achieved with stripping the plugins in 
/usr/local/lib/scribus (- 20MB)
Probably linking Qt statically would also reduce the size since I don't 
think Scribus uses
all functions of Qt.

So we should try to achieve a bundle size near 20-30 MB.
