appify — create the simplest possible Mac app from a shell script (adds an application icon) (Working with ZSH with spaces in the name)

appify.sh

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" = "-h" -o "$1" = "--help" ]; then cat <<EOF
appify v3.0.0 for Mac OS X - http://mths.be/appify
Creates the simplest possible Mac app from a shell script.

Appify takes a shell script as its first argument:

    `basename "$0"` my-script.sh

Note that you cannot rename appified apps. If you want to give your app
a custom name, use the second argument:

    `basename "$0"` my-script.sh "My App"
