Running console apps on Mac

I've done a fix for running console apps on Mac OS X (both for wxMac and for wxGTK)
http://developer.berlios.de/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=1667&group_id=5358

This runs the program with Terminal.app in Mac OS X, and it uses DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
(closes http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=8987&group_id=5358)

The quoting needed for the AppleScript required a new $SCRIPT parameter to be added,
but hopefully this shouldn't break anything for other OS ? (tested OK on Linux, anyway)

osascript -e 'tell app "Terminal" to do script "$SCRIPT"'

If you don't use the $SCRIPT variable, it'll append the quote-escaped command like before:

xterm -T $TITLE -e

Terminal.app will ask if you want to close, so we don't need cb_console_runner on wxMac.
(it *can* be used on Mac OS X though, if you are running wxGTK or just tweak the settings)

If there are no objections, I'll commit this patch later.
