Bugzilla Bug 1012

If the forums are to be any guide, a lot of users try to launch the game via
the Terminal.app, and it tips over because the game (and therefore the content)
are relocatable, and the static definitions built-in to the game don't guess
correctly.

The obvious workaround is to have them supply a -n argument when launching the
game via the Terminal, but they really shouldn't have to, since its location is
deterministic (but not static)

contentdir.patch

Here is a patch for MacOS X that will look for content in the application
bundle if it cannot be found in the "default" locations.  -n can still be used
to override this.

Sounds like an acceptable addition to me. (The extra location; haven't looked
in detail at the patch yet).

contentdir.patch (improved)

Here is an alternate version of the previous patch, with the following small
improvements:

1.  It doesn't create a global variable with a copy of argv[0] in it for
prepareContentDir() to use, it just passes argv[0] to prepareContentDir(). 
Duh.
2.  It free()s the pointers that it malloc(()s.  Because otherwise would be
rude.
3.  It has actual comments that attempt to explain what it's trying to do.

Fixed in SVN revision 2920.
