Hm... prefix shouldn't be needed when using "--enable-appbundle".
If you specify "--enable-appebundle", all File necessary
for running pgadmin3 should be installed into the .app.

Heres the problem - the executable should be named PgAdminIII, not
pgadminIII. I forgot to include my modifications to src/Makefile.am
in the patch on www.phlo.org - I created a second patch, named
pgadmin3-bundle-2.diff - please apply this one two, and retry.

(It should be sufficient to just do "make install" again, after
applying the patch).

Hm... we could do that - but .app bundles are designed to be relocateable
anyway, so just move it to wherever you want it to be ;-)
