[Coco] VCC for the Mac

[Paulo Garcia]

I've been using WineBottler (http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/) for some
time with good results.

It creates Mac OS app bundles from Windows applications using Wine.

Of course, not all Windows applications will work, but I believe that if
you can run using standalone Wine, WineBottler will work too.

There are two caveats though: WinBottler only packages Windows 32bits apps
(no support for 64bit ones) and the size of the app bundle tends to be way
larger than the original Windows application. The latter is not really a
big deal, imho.

I hope that helps

Paulo
