The Qt documentation says
"The Mac deployment tool can be found in QTDIR/bin/macdeploy"

Dear list,

I recently installed the Qt 4.5 SDK on Mac OS X Leopard, and noticed  
in the changelog a comment about a tool called macdeployqt.  After  
some time spent with Google, I find at the bottom of this page
	http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/deployment-mac.html
that it's not called macdeployqt after all, but rather just  
macdeploy.  (There's also plenty of instances of the phrase deployqt  
out there as well, adding to my confusion.)  Here are my specific  
questions:

1. What does this tool actually do?  If it automates the process of  
building a Mac app (as the link above says), then why does that same  
page still give tons of instructions about otool and install_name_tool  
and so on?  Are those instructions for users for whom macdeploy is not  
appropriate, or does macdeploy only automate part of the process?

2. Where can I find more thorough documentation on macdeploy, such as  
how to use it and what part of the process it automates?

3. Most importantly:  Where the heck is it?  I can't find it in / 
Developer/Tools/Qt, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, or /usr/local/Qt4.5.

Thanks!

Nathan
