I was missing the xxx_APPLICATION_ICON variable in my makefiles. I 
copied stuff from the Renaissance tools (the only foreign GNUstep 
application I have built o far) and this variable was not used there. 
So I didn't know about it. A list of all available variables for all 
makefile types would be very useful, preventing everyone from having to 
seek stuff together from dozens of examples over weeks.

Even the old application format works correctly on MacOSX now after 
adding this variable, so there is - does not seem to be - no need for 
extending GNUstep make.

Thanks a lot!
