[Interest] Deploying Qt to MacOs still...errr, sucks?

Late bump :

The documentation is still lacking.
For instance, where should one deploy QtQuick's QML files ?

Upon inspection it seems that some plug-ins are put in
Contents/PlugIns/quick, some QML files in Resources/qml (similarly to
what's in Qt/5.$version/$platform/qml folder) and symlinks in
Resources/qml/QtQuick (or others) to the actual qml plug-ins.

Is all of this necessary ?

Best,
Jean-Michaël
