    /****
A full script for creating a standalone app based on the
current setup and config of a SuperCollider.app - tested with 3.7.0.
c Alberto de Campo 2016
HOW TO USE this:


have your system ready with all desired quarks installed,
and a working startup file. (can be a very simple test setup)


read each section, then try evaluating it at once;
in case of problems, evaluate line by line,
and tell me where which problems happen


when you get to the wakeup kiss, share and enjoy!


To adapt to your project:
a. open String.scDir (Contents/Resources/),
b. replace template startup.scd with your startup.scd
v. and put your project files in _files/
