[PySide] Deploying a PySide app on OS X

[Dan McCombs]

That's a good point. I set macosx_deployment_target to 10.6 in my
macports.conf file before building Python and freezing my app. Otherwise,
the app will not run on anything lower than the version of OS X you're
running, and if you don't have that explicitly set in your Info.plist, it
just silently fails to open on older machines.
