[Ohrrpgce] Mac app bundles build on Windows crash on Mac

[Mike Caron]

Hi guys, long time no see.

Is there some reason you're still using tar? Wouldn't it be easier to just
bundle 7zip or something? I understand that it supports tar. Probably a few
other formats too. You can obtain the console version
here.<http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/files/7-Zip/9.20/7za920.zip/download>

Or, alternately the tar
format<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_(computing)> doesn't
seem that complicated. Maybe a highly specialized version is in order?
