Improve packaging of OCCT releases on Mac OS X
Description
As advised by several OCCT users, it would be nice to provide OCCT on Mac OS X in the form other than tar.gz archive with sources, to facilitate installation on the user's workstations.
Several (complimentary) options are suggested:
1. Providing OCCT binaries in dmg archive
2. Packing as Mac OS X Bundle or Framework (http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFrameworks/Frameworks.html)
3. CPack (http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/cpack.html) can be used to build Mac OS X installer package
4. A formula for building OCCT can be added to Homebrew package manager (http://brew.sh)
