Comment (by kyngchaos):

 >  * It has the same application icon as Qgis, in the Dock, which is
 confusing.

 Note that also the ''name'' is "Qgis", same as the Qgis application, even
 more confusing.

 So, I wonder, why was the context help window done as a separate
 application, instead of a window in Qgis?  Can it be done as a window?

 If not, I'm going to have to revert r12622, I think the confusion of the
 hidden and misnamed application is worse than not working.  The
 application method does work in the Xcode project build, but it requires
 the Qgis source to reference the correct path to qgis_help (so it's one or
 the other).

 Maybe I can wrap my brain around the cmake stuff to get it to do a post-
 install install_name_tool, but don't count on it...  I'll also try
 reverting that r11996 I found to see if that was it.
