[Gvsig_english] osX

[Jeroen Ticheler]

Hi,
I'd like to support the suggestion for a renamed application for OSX.  
I had exactly the same confusion, and in fact removed the whole  
application 1.1 because I had errors when opening a layer in a view.  
I thought my installer didn't work properly and didn't think of  
moving it into the App folder (thinking it was an installer) :-)
Ciao,
Jeroen

ps. I guess now I have to find out why it failed to run properly..
