Mac UB build

Sean,

I thought of this as well. However, before we answer that, the question
is that does a Mac even adhere to the same hierarchy logic as Windows
does? In Windows, the application looks for the DLL files in the local
folder and then in the parent folders. From what I know of Unix, Unix
doesn't do that, it relies on a library path to get to the files it
needs. Then, does Mac also do the same? If yes, then I think it is
likely out of scope for Valentina to look first in the .app bundle for
components, because the underlying OSX's library path gets to decide
that.

Is this an acceptable solution - asking your end users to find and 
delete obscure files before your application will run? Shouldn't it be 
the case that Valentina would look first into the .app bundle for 
components before looking elsewhere?
