Comment:

 OK, it mostly works.  I was worried about the removing of Mac-specific
 code is the fix.  It does build with a working library path now, but now
 there are 2 other problems, which I think were the reason for the original
 Mac code:

  * The help program doesn't open in the foreground.
  * It has the same application icon as Qgis, in the Dock, which is
 confusing.

 Both of these I think may be because qgis_help binary is at the same
 folder level as the Qgis application binary. So it thinks it's Qgis and
 picks up the icon from the application package, and it may be confusing
 the window order.
